Awards des International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary

Georgischer Film wurde in Karlsbad mit dem Hauptpreis geehrt.



Der georgische Film "Corn Island" ("Mais-Insel") von Regisseur George Ovashili gewann am 12. Juli 2014 den Kristallglobus des 49. Internationalen Filmfestes im tschechischen Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad). Der Hauptpreis des KVIFF ist mit knapp 18.400 Euro dotiert. Hier der Trailer:



Das Psychodrama schildert das Leben eines Bauern und seiner 16-jährigen Enkelin auf einer Insel zwischen Georgien und dem abtrünnigen Abchasien.

Der Spezialpreis der Jury sowie der Regiepreis gingen beide an "Free Fall" von György Pálfi aus Ungarn.

Weiterer Schwerpunkt des Festivals sind neben dem East-West-Award und dem Independent Forum die Dokumentarfilme in zwei Längen-Kategorien. Auch beim Publikumspreis gewann ein Dokumentarfilm. Ausgezeichnet wurde die Dokumentation "Magicky hlas rebelky" (Die magische Stimme einer Rebellin) über die Sängerin Marta Kubisova.
