Preview music video for the upcoming feature narrative PATANG written and directed by Prashant Bhargava, produced by Jaideep Punjabi.
Patang premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. Our North American premiere followed in the World Narrative Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival. We have been moved by the reception of audiences. Sold out shows. Great Q & A's. People from all walks of life have championed the film as an intimate drama that evokes their own stories of family, love and friendship.
PATANG was awarded the Halekulani Golden Orchid Award for Best Narrative Feature Film at the Hawaii International Film Festival and the Best Feature Film Award at the DC Asian Pacific Film Festival.
A poetic journey into the heart of the old city of Ahmedabad, PATANG weaves together the stories of six people transformed by the energy of India's largest kite festival. Every year a million kites fill the skies above the city-dueling, soaring, tumbling and flying high. When a successful Delhi businessman takes his daughter on a surprise trip back to his childhood home for the festival, an entire family has to confront its own fractured past and fragile dreams. Music and fireworks, food and laughter, a kaleidoscope of color and light, the magic of the kite flying high-a traditional recipe of healing and renewal. With naturalistic performances from actors and non-actors alike, bold, lyrical editing, vibrant cinematography and a kinetic score, Patang delights the senses and nourishes the spirit.
