Q&A with director of short film TWO ONE TWO, Sira Avni, before the feature.
When sisters Juliette and Carmen accidentally fall into their favorite fantasy novel, they step into a world of nonsense-talking toys, ghoulish town mayors, and flying opera singers. Separated in this technicolor world, they must find each other and the mysterious wizard Sirocco in order to get back home. Influenced by adventure classics such as “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Wizard of Oz,” SIROCCO AND THE KINGDOM OF THE WINDS is a wholly original and stunning film about the bond between siblings and the magic of storytelling.
