‘Ink Wash,’ ‘Seeds,’ ‘All That’s Left Of You’ And More Claim Top Prizes At 68th San Francisco International Film Festival
The 68th San Francisco International Film Festival announced prizes for 'Ink Wash,' 'Seeds,' 'All That's Left of You,' and more.
In the New Directors category, the festival’s Golden Gate Award went to Ink Wash, directed by Sarra Tsorakidis, a drama about “a heartbroken mural painter nearing 40 [who] retreats to a remote Romanian hotel, where the surrounding wilderness and solitude force her to confront her past, reassess her future, and rediscover her artistry.” Tsorakidis’s exacting compositions reflect the work of its subject, gradually granting us profound access into her interior life—her journey is familiar and quiet, but realized on screen with consistently thorny, nuanced emotional depth. Director-writer Rohan Kanawade utilizes this premise as a portal into deep love, queer longing, and connection as the lead character navigates his extended family’s questioning about his unmarried stature, the genuine care of his mother, and the gentle beginnings of a relationship with a local farmer.
