In conjunction with Windfall Theatre’s February Milwaukee
premiere of the award winning Pulitzer Prize nominated play SONS OF THE PROPHET by Stephen Karam,
Windfall is sponsoring thru Gathr Films an exclusive screening of the
critically acclaimed new animated feature film
The Prophet,
by celebrated Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran, is among the most popular volumes
of poetry ever written, selling over 100 million copies in forty languages
since its publication in 1923. Gibran's timeless verses have been given
enchanting new form in this painterly cinematic adventure
about freedom and the power of human expression.
This breathtaking animated feature,
produced and spearheaded by Salma Hayek, was an official selection at Cannes
and made its North American premiere at Toronto International Film Festival. Written
and directed by Roger Allers (The Lion King), the film intersperses Gibran's
elegant poetry within stunning animated sequences by filmmakers Tomm Moore (The
Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea), Nina Paley (Sita Sings the Blues), Bill
Plympton (Guide Dog), and a host of award-winning animators from around the
world. Set in a Mediterranean sea-side village, Kamila (Salma Hayek) cleans
house for exiled artist and poet Mustafa (Liam Neeson), but the more difficult
job is keeping her free-spirited young daughter, Almitra, (Quvenzhané Wallis)
out of trouble. The three embark on a journey meant to end with Mustafa's
return home – but first they must evade the authorities who fear that the truth
in his words will incite rebellion. Featuring music from Damien Rice, Glen
Hansard and Yo-Yo Ma.
