Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to announce the Northern Arizona premiere of “June Zero,” screening July 12-18 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

The 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, the chief architect of the Holocaust, is revisited in a fascinating and surprising new light by American filmmaker Jake Paltrow.

Based on a true story, “June Zero” is told from the unique perspectives of three different characters: Eichmann's Jewish Moroccan prison guard, an Israeli police investigator who is also a Holocaust survivor, and a precocious and brilliant 13-year-old Libyan immigrant.

Shot on 16mm film, Paltrow's vibrantly textured work brings to life the diverse experiences of her characters, highlighting how the same historical events are often perceived differently by people around the world.

“June Zero” reinforces the idea that shared trauma has the power to forge the strongest bonds and produce unexpected moments of triumph and connection. As the film delves into the complexities of the human experience during this pivotal trial, it serves as a poignant reminder that history's impact can be diverse yet unifying.

“An intimate look at a powerful moment in history. A sensitive look at a difficult subject.” — Screen Daily

“Insightful, the warmly saturated 16mm photography lends a rich, antique texture to the footage across its three storylines.” — Variety
