Innovative, diverse and personal stories won the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival’s Eastern Promises industry awards on Monday, taking honors in three sections focused on emerging filmmakers in both narrative and docu genres.
The film focuses on the “poetic revelation of one of Iran’s most prominent writers,” Mahmoud Dowlatabadi, as his daughter records his imaginary world, “blurring the lines of perceived reality for the audience,” while exploring the secret garden of his life as a novelist and solitary routine. The Works in Progress Karlovy Vary IFF award and 5,000 euro prize went to Georgian-German film “Tina & Megi,” directed by Ioseb “Soso” Bliadze, and produced by Eva Blondiau, the story of a woman in Tbilisi facing sexist repression, called by the jury a timely piece by “a new and fresh voice showing and encouraging the fight of young women who ‘learn to fly’ despite a society that allows them no time or freedom to develop their own choices in life.
