Kites is a unique debut film by Walter Thompson-Hernandez that blends reality and fantasy, set against the vibrant yet harsh backdrop of Rio de Janeiro. It earned a special jury nod at Tribeca for its unconventional storytelling, opening with real news footage of a tragic event before weaving a dreamlike narrative.
