KABUL FOR YOU
Director Britt Hatzius
Countries Belgium, United Kingdom
Duration 28 min
Synopsis
Kabul For You is a film made from video clips taken by the filmmaker's father during his position as German development consultant to the Afghan Ministry in Kabul, Afghanistan between 2004 and 2007. Having discovered the video function on his small 'point-and-shoot' camera, he starts filming his daily life: from work meetings to riding a unicycle in the park, ignoring security restrictions imposed on 'foreign presence'. Built on trust, Britt Hatzius' film assembles this footage into a portrait that bears gentle witness to a camera becoming an invaluable companion.
