Her Father Has Nothing to Say: Fire from the Woods

Evelina ventures into the woods to rescue her father, held captive and silenced by a terrifying old man with a hunger for stories. To avoid the same fate, Evelina must tell the old man a tale he’s never heard before. By reimagining old stories from Lithuania and around the world, storyteller Daiva Ivanauskaitė-Brown and musician Gaynor Barradell explore the silence between generations. Let them take you into the deep dark woods in search of a fire that can warm and heal. Directed by Lauren Bianchi. Supported by The Village Storytelling Centre.
