Welcome - Short Film
Thank you for subscribing
In appreciation of our new April subscribers and as a token of gratitude for the subscribers that have been with Tarantula: Authors and Art since the beginning of our journey, we are gifting you with an internet premier of “Welcome,” an awarded short film that was written and directed by our writer Maja Milanovic. “Welcome” received the Gold Kahuna Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2010 Honolulu International Film Festival
This month, with the focus on Ukraine, we featured two artists, Daria Alyoshkina and Iryna Maksymova that are currently displaced, and Maria Prymachenko whose paintings have been destroyed in the war. If a friend forwarded you this post, and you would like to check it out, why not subscribe? All “yearly subscriptions” that we receive in April will be donated to the people of Ukraine.
Do you ever wonder what happens with all the displaced people years after the war ends when the spotlights are off? How is their mental health?
No experience is the same, but the short film “Welcome” takes you for a moment into the lives of one of these families. Made in 2010 in New York City, the story of the film belongs to another time, another war, before social media, but the experience of rootlessness and the feelings of not belonging remain the same.
If you would like to learn more about the film and see the trailer, you can go to the film’s Fb page by clicking here. To see the whole film, why not subscribe?
