Mark Cousins’ portrait of a British modernist painter, “A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things,” won the Karlovy Vary Film Festival top prize Saturday, winning over a jury that included Christine Vachon and Geoffrey Rush with its perceptive take on art and seeing. The powerful refugee camp-set “Xoftex” won a special mention in the Crystal Globe race for its story of Syrian and Palestinian asylum seekers stuck seemingly forever in a grim Greek facility, a French-German film by Noaz Deshe. The Proxima special jury prize went to Paolo Tizón’s drama from Peru, Spain and Mexico, “Night Has Come,” which follows trainees at a hardcore military boot camp for soldiers fighting off drug cartels in South America.
