  • Bo Kata is a 2007 documentary film produced, directed, edited and shot by Shehzad Afzal. The original soundtrack for Bo Kata was composed by musician John Walden from Fife Scotland, who runs studio outfit Daft Dog Music. Douglas Mackinnon, Scottish Film and TV Director ("The Flying Scotsman", "Jekyll", "Bodies", "The Vice", Doctor Who), who attended the film premiere of Bo Kata in Dundee at the Contemporary Arts Cinema (February 2007), said it was "A beautifully made film about a world of kites and conflict, with marvelously atmospheric music." Bo Kata was nominated for the Satyajit Ray Film Foundation Award 2007 for Best Film in association with the British Council and the British Film Institute. Bo Kata received a limited theatrical release across the UK in 2007 and was selected for in-competition for a number of international film festivals and showcases such as the Festival 3ER Internacional de Cine de Monterrey, the 2° Festival Internacional de Cine Documental de la Ciudad de México - 2007 - DOCSDF - DOCSMX and the world renowned 13th Bite the Mango International Film Festival 2007 in Bradford. In late October 2019, Bo Kata was released on the Android platform in the shape of a downloadable mobile application for both the Amazon AppStore and Google Play, called Bo Kata Digital. The concept started in early January 2019, the idea behind the 'app' was to create a user interface that resembled old DVD film menus, adding extras and features for a new audience who could watch the documentary in the mobile sphere. The application was developed and designed by Shehzad Afzal and written in Java code, the artwork, and music for the interactive menus were also created by Shehzad carefully recreating the atmosphere of the Basant festival with sharp contrasting colors and abstract kite motifs.
