About Kontora
After her grandfather dies, Sora retraces the diary written by him during World War II and begins to search for a mysterious treasure buried in the local woods. Meanwhile, a mute backwards-walking homeless man appears in the town and may be the catalyst to repairing the broken relationship between Sora and her father. Winner of the Grand Prix Best Film Award at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (POFF) 2019.
 
The screening will be followed by a recorded Q&A with director Anshul Chauhan, hosted by CIFF Programme Manager Si Edwards.
 
"...Kontora delivers high-gloss monochrome visuals, strong performances and a layered narrative that wavers between past and present, realism and magical realism, straight family drama and poetic allegory." - The Hollywood Reporter
