Description
Kites tells the story of Kabul's budding young video producers. Through a combination of the students' videos and their mentor Jacek Szaranski's artful camera work, this film looks at the use of video and high tech in a world usually associated with war and arch conservatism. Under the Taliban, it was forbidden to show pictures of human beings, let alone for young women to operate video cameras. The documentary introduces young Afghans and shows their skill with their cameras. Interestingly, they don't film barbed wire or military bases. Instead, they focus their lenses on their daily lives. They show their neighbors and children flying kites. The result is a film at times funny and at others sadly moving.
