Vote for A Fantastic Film – “Honor Killing”
From my sister in art, Nirah:
Dear friends and family…
I pray this finds you all feeling fresh and inspired. I am writing this missive in the hopes of sparking a swift movement of support. After almost three years of living and working out of Jerusalem, the Art and Apathy Documentary Project is nearing a point of completion. We have begun sending some of our 11 short films out to festivals, and so begins the cycle of return and reciprocity.
We have only just started to screen parts of our Project and we will be previewing some of our short films at the Cannes Film Festival in May. We recently received news that two of our films have been selected for the Moving Pictures Magazine Short Film Contest held at Cannes. While one of the films, “Meet Me Out of the Siege”, has already been chosen by a jury as a finalist, the other, “Honor Killing”, is now eligible for selection through the Audience Choice Award contest.
What this means for us is an assisted opening of the doors of distribution and success. What this means for you is you get to preview one (or two) of the eleven short films of The Art and Apathy Documentary Project online. So… I encourage you and whomever you can send this email to, to please visit http://www.movingpicturesmagazine.com/shorts/currentcontest and enter the Vote for Audience Choice Award portal, watch “Honor Killing” and email your vote for it to shorts@mpgcorp.net.
Again, this is just the beginning of the next chapter in the long journey that has created our Project. We hope that we will soon have the opportunity to sit in an intimate environment with you, to share a screening or festival in your town or university, and to expose the entirety of The Art and Apathy Documentary Project… which is a deep meditation exploring how the Militarization of Israeli society and the Occupation of Palestine effects the creative minds of visionaries, activists, and artists in their respective cultures of resistance.
Infinite Gratitude and Blessings to all.
