Sands Film Festival To Open With Carey Mulligan Flick ‘The Ballad of Wallis Island’; Speakers Include Joanna Lumley & Kharmel Cochrane


Sands is in its fourth edition.

Sands, which will run until April 27, will also screen the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a Palestinian filmmaker and an Israeli journalist, and Two Strangers Trying Not To Kill Each Other, a buzzy doc about a married couple as they reflect on their lives together and navigate ageing and the changes it brings. Other Sands 2025 titles include Witches from writer-director Elizabeth Sankey, who will also take part in a Q&A alongside composer and producer Jeremy Warmsley, and Shiori Ito’s Oscar-nominated Black Box Diaries, a doc that examines one woman’s fight against Japan’s outdated judicial system. Elsewhere, musician Kathleen Wallfisch will feature in a Q&A session on her career, which includes work as Music Supervisor on Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II and Napoleon, while influential Casting Director Kharmel Cochrane will also discuss her professional path.
