Call of the Forest Screening
Still Voices Presents a Special Screening of Call of the Forest in partnership with Whose Woods These Are Tree Festival.
The Kite deals with the issue of death, but it does so in a simple metaphorical and symbolic way on the relationship between the little boy and his grandpa. It explains that none of us are here forever and that all living creatures must die, but also to show that death doesn’t mean the end of our journey.
