The 58th Karlovy Vary IFF presented awards for the best films at the closing ceremony with A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things directed by Mark Cousins winning the Grand Prix – Crystal Globe. The documentary is an essayistic portrait of a British artist, with deep insights into the world of gender, climate, and creativity. “What a festival, what a hall, what a shock! My film is also about shock, about the transformation of artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham after she climbed a Swiss glacier in 1949. It’s about a woman who lived her life to the fullest,” said Mark Cousins.
