REEL/UNREEL

Directed by Francis Alÿs
Mexico, 2011
Documentary, Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

In Francis Alÿs’s video Reel/Unreel, the action takes place along the bare cityscape of Kabul, Afghanistan. The cameras follow a reel of film as it unrolls through the old part of town—pushed by two children, uphill and downhill, like a hoop, inspiring an improvised narrative.
