Trailer Tuesday - The Mystery of Flying Kicks

© Hind Mezaina

The film featured in this week's Trailer Tuesday will be screened this Thursday, 24th February at thejamjar in Dubai, part of the Sole DXB, an evening dedicated to sneaker culture. It's a short documentary made of photos, videos, voice messages and artwork. This award winning documentary has been screened at several film festivals and this Thursday will be it's Middle East premiere. See you there.

Murder, sex, drugs, art, politics… sneakers hanging on telephone lines have become a powerful urban symbol, inspiring genesis theories both hilarious and sinister. In an effort to get to the truth once and for all we asked the people of earth to help us solve this mystery. Using an on-line call out and a phone message bank, this documentary was made entirely from donated photographs, phoned-in theories, video, vlogs, and animation. The Mystery of Flying Kicks is the result of a unique digital collaboration between the filmmakers and the international public.
