The 14 features in the running for main Tiger Award include Brooklyn-based filmmaker Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire, exploring the life of anti-colonialist Martinique-born French writer, and Justin Anderson’s Deborah Levy adaptation, Swimming Home. Highlights of the Big Screen Competition, bridging the gap between popular cinema and arthouse fare, include Cambodian thriller Tenement; Indian drama Seven Seas Seven Hills, which is described as a reflection on Tamil philosophy, and Danish sci-fi romance Eternal.
