1. How did the idea of Kabul Cards emerge? What was the long-term objective?
The project group Global Video Letters was having a workshop in Kabul that we took part in. We were supposed to film our lives and people around the streets and send the videos to other countries as a video letter. After we were trained on the basics of video journalism we went out to film and interview people on streets and in shops.u00a0Our trainers felt these movies were good, and we could turn this video letter into a short film about daily life in Kabul, so we had an opportunity to bring Kabul on screen from a different angle and introduce a new face of Kabul to people who have only heard about war and explosions in the country. We hope to make a longer documentary, which shows our lives, ups and downs of Kabul, and its changes in past one and half years.
