ARGYLE — The Argyle Public Library is hosting an event at 7 p.m. on Nov. 15 at the library, 401 E. Milwaukee St. “Tanna” is a Romeo and Juliet story set in one of the world’s last true tribal societies.
It is the first feature film shot entirely in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu. Before “Tanna,” the tribe had never before seen a movie or a camera yet welcomed the filmmakers to live with them for seven months where they absorbed stories and observed ceremonies, with the input and collaboration of the local people. None of the “cast” had ever acted before, but they passionately and naturally recreated this real-life story from recent tribal history as if they’d had years of training.
Snacks, tea and coffee will be provided. For more information call 608-543-3193.
