Synopsis
In 2006 in the Art School in Kabul a film course “Kabul – My City” was held. Students were given cameras and professional help from a young polish director Jacek Szarański. And no more than that. They themselves came up with the ideas what they want their films to be about, and in what way they would show Kabul. They trained their lenses on their closest surrounding – neighbor’s children, ubiquitous kites and themselves. “Kites” have become a record of the present day Kabul from the perspective of an Afghan teenager. It also became a story about how a film passion is awakened, the difficulty of asking questions and the courage of hearing answers.
