From the Judges, on A Boy a Man and a Kite (2019)
From the Judges, on A Boy a Man and a Kite
Handled with a gentle integrity, the filmmaking here is polished and carefully composed, tracing a difficult subject through a patient structure that lets understanding build rather than reaching for the sensational. They found it a genuine contribution, drawing on a true story to bring something too often kept under the carpet into open view. Dark and sad, it still carries a message of hope, and the panel found it powerful, thoughtfully made, and well worth recommending.
