Czech Films 2018–2019 2019 / Pouštět draka / Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland 2019
A touching tale of a boy and his grandfather as they spend the day flying a kite. The film animates the layers of textile that make up the characters in order to depict the process of aging and the gradual physical and mental distancing from life. The stop-motion animation of the soft fabric objects lends the film its charm.
