Kites come to the big screen! For those of you heading to Enid, we are working to screen this film on Monday night after the opening reception. If you can help with sponsorship, drop me a note! This is an independent production, not supported by a major studio so we need to pay expenses to secure it.

PATANG (The Kite) - A new film by award winning director Prashant Bhargava.

1 million kites. Thread laced with ground glass, sharp enough to cut your skin. A celebration unlike any other. When a businessman returns to his childhood home for India's largest kite festival, an entire family has to confront its own fractured past and fragile dreams. With naturalistic performances from actors and non-actors alike, bold, lyrical editing and vibrant cinematography, PATANG  delights the senses and nourishes the spirit. Roger Ebert writes "hypnotically beautiful visuals...woven into a kaleidoscope of colors, faces, music and a little romance. Bhargava is masterful."  The New York Times selects PATANG as a CRITIC'S PICK! PATANG is a must-see film on the big screen. PATANG screens from July 13th - 19th (4 shows daily) @ San Francisco - AMC Metreon 16 (135 Fourth St.), Fremont, CA - Big Cinemas Fremont 7 (39160 Paeso Padre Pkwy). PATANG opens in LA on July 20th @ Laemmle Music Hall (9036 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills). Watch the trailer and buy tickets at www.patang.tv
