Event Description

94 mins | Hindi | English subtitles | 2022 | India, UK, US In one of the world’s most populated cities, two brothers — Nadeem and Saud — devote their lives to the quixotic effort of protecting the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to the ecosystem of New Delhi that has been falling from the sky at alarming rates. Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the ‘kite brothers’ spend day and night caring for the creatures in their makeshift avian basement hospital.

Director Shaunak Sen (Cities of Sleep) explores the connection between the kites and the Muslim brothers who help them return to the skies, offering a mesmerizing chronicle of inter-species coexistence. The film has received international acclaim at several festivals and won many awards, including a nomination for best long documentary at the Academy Awards (Oscars) earlier this year.

The Director, Shaunak Sen (virtually), and Cinematographer, Saumyananda Sahi will join us for a Q&A with the audience.
