The winner of multiple festival awards, Corn Island, with minimal dialogue and gorgeous imagery, tells a profound story of perseverance and survival on a barren island. 
 
The film is set on the Enguri River, which forms the border between Georgia and the breakaway Republic of Abkhazia, a hotly contested territory since the early ’90s. Every spring small islands of fertile soil are created and it is one such island that an old farmer lives with his granddaughter sowing corn. In meticulous detail we witness their labour and the passage of time through the length of the corn stalks. The calm is interrupted when an injured soldier seeks refuge, and as the farmer’s granddaughter blossoms into womanhood, it is clear that island life will never be the same. Shot on 35mm, Corn Island offers an immersive, purely cinematic experience.
