techniques – painted environments and digital paper cut-out segments, woven into a gripping tale about an 11-year-old girl growing up in Afghanistan under the Taliban. Parvana must disguise herself as a boy so as to leave the house and support her family. Exposed to a world of freedoms normally forbidden to her gender, she must rely on her vivid imagination to cope with new dangers. . (read more…)
