Kites at the Kamogawa (for Jonas Mekas) (2020)

Black kites soar on thermals along the Kamo river in Kyoto. Flags billow. Cacti spin. Plum trees blossom. Pigeons make love atop a clock. Friends chat by the riverside. Filmed February/March 2019 on a single 40 year old cartridge of Kodachrome Super 8 and hand-developed in Caffenol. The film was heavily fogged, but there are some (real) images.

Unfortunately the movie Kites at the Kamogawa (for Jonas Mekas) is not yet available on Paramount Plus.
