The 59th Karlovy Vary International Festival showcased thematic parallels among films reflecting on the secret relationships between people and their search for meaning within various locations. The festival featured 12 main competition premieres and a Proxima section for innovative works. Winning films like 'Sand City' from Dhaka, 'The Visitor,' and 'Better Go Mad in the Wild' presented a deeper emotional cartography, emphasizing the influence of landscapes on personal experiences. 'Sand City' specifically illustrates the intertwined lives of two strangers amid Dhaka's urban chaos, symbolically connected through the presence of sand.
Mahde Hasan's gently beguiling 'Sand City' follows two strangers in the densely populated city of Dhaka, whose lives are inextricably linked in deeper, existential ways.
The films...'Sand City,' 'The Visitor,' and 'Better Go Mad in the Wild' elucidate the inner worlds informed by one's individual experience of locations and landscapes.
