“The Kite Runner,” which made a noticeable impact on this year’s Chicago International Film Festival, just attended a closing-night, red-carpet gala at the fourth-annual Dubai International Film Festival.

The photos above, which were sent to me from the Chicago publicist for the film, also came with this caption:

The young actors from the recently released feature film “The Kite Runner” – including Zekiria Ebrahimi, Ali Danish Bakhtyari and Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada – attended the closing night gala of the fourth-annual Dubai International Film Festival.

The boys were joined by best-selling author Khaled Hosseini, the film’s producers (E. Bennett Walsh, Bill Horberg, Rebecca Yeldham and Walter Parkes) as well as fellow cast members Homayoun Ershadi (“Baba”) and Khalid Abdalla (“Adult Amir”).
