Flagstaff Premiere:
Ghost Elephants

This series continues on Wednesday, March 11 with the Flagstaff premiere of “Ghost Elephants” at 7:00 p.m. at Theatrikos Theatre Company.

Directed, narrated and written by legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, “Ghost Elephants” is a lyrical tale of survival, reconnection and the enduring power of ancient knowledge in the face of modern loss.

In the mist-covered highlands of Angola, deep within its forests, a mystery endures: the elusive ghost elephants of Lisima, the potential living descendants of the largest land mammal ever recorded. Steve Boyes, conservation biologist and leader of the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project, is determined to prove their existence.

In order to find these elusive elephants, Boyes and fellow National Geographic Explorer Kerllen Costa have teamed up with three KhoiSan master trackers: Xui, Xui Dawid, and Kobus. Refugees from a war-torn past who have faced considerable marginalization in southern Africa, the trackers return to their ancestral lands to succeed where advanced technology could not.

“Ghost Elephants” will show at Theatrikos Theatre Company on Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 general admission and $9 for Film Festival members.
