American Kitefliers Association

Have you heard that there'll be a special screening of the new movie "Patang" at Enid, on October 1? It's set in Ahmedabad, during the Uttarayan kite festival (as seen in KITING Magazine's spring issue), and features a lot of fighter kite action. But the movie is really about family, and all the baggage and dysfunction that comes with it. It's in Hindi with English subtitles, but you'll quickly recognize the universal themes of the movie. I've been lucky enough to see an advance preview of the 90 minute movie, and I can tell you that it's interesting, colorful, and very well done.

Can't get to Enid? There are other places to see it. The film will be in Portland OR in a week, and will be in Chicago, Cleveland, Ottawa and elsewhere in the next few weeks. Check www.patang.tv for schedule of screenings.
