Eagles of the Republic

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Eagles of the Republic” showing May 8-13 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“Eagles of the Republic” was Sweden’s official entry to the Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film.

Egypt’s most adored actor, George Fahmy (Fares Fares) is pressured to star in a film commissioned by the highest authorities. He reluctantly accepts the role and finds himself thrown into the inner circle of power. Like a moth drawn to the flame, he begins an affair with the mysterious wife of the general overseeing the film.

“A brilliantly executed satire … deftly and daringly blending fact and fiction.” — Deadline

“Fascinating!” — Indiewire
