The Homecoming
Award: Shortlist
Shortlist / Direction / Long Form / 2023
The Homecoming is a narrative short film set in the Middle East, featuring a man and a woman who are expecting a baby. It's filled with emotional highs and lows: arguments, cravings, preparations, and an anxious wait, before the big day arrives. The film intentionally includes no words, and instead gives an entirely new meaning to Elvis Presley's iconic song – a licensed adaptation of Can't Help Falling in Love.
