Nepali film White Sun was named Best Film at the 27th Singapore International Film Festival’s Silver Screen Awards on Saturday night Director Deepak Rauniyar’s penetrating film about the strife between the supporters of the monarchy and the Maoist faction was said to have impressed the jury as “an exceptional and incisive film”.
Exploring the scars that remain from civil war using both tension and absurdist comedy, White Sun tells an all pervading story through the eyes of the young which the jury found “encapsulates the never-ending conflict that is the state of the world today, with a message of hope that a different future for all of us can be possible through our children”.
Bangladeshi film Live from Dhaka clinched the Best Director award for Abdullah Mohammad Saad and Best Performance award for cast Mostafa Monwar. This debut feature film by Saad was shot in black and white, and paints a riveting and complex portrait of a partially handicapped man pushed to his very extreme and his struggle between morality and the instinct for self-preservation
