Black Kites

Based on 1992 journals of Bosnian visual artist Alma Hajric who was forced into a basement shelter to survive the siege of Sarajevo Black Kites skillfully merges the reality-based content of her journal with interpretive visual material to reveal the simple sometimes beautiful yet brutal truth of her existence. Non-linear dreamlike and spectral Black Kites is a testament to artistry imagination and the resiliency of the human psyche. Features sensitive performances by Steve Buscemi Mimi Goese and Mira Furlan a prominent actress from the former Yugoslavia as the narrator.
