British documentary A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things wins Crystal Globe at Karlovy Vary

The Crystal Globe for Best Film at the 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival went to the British documentary A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things by Northern Irish director Mark Cousins. His portrait of the Scottish artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, exploring her pivotal 1949 experience on Switzerland's Grindelwald glacier that reshaped the British modernist painter's artistic perspective, beat 11 other contenders in the competition to bag the top prize at the gala closing ceremony on Saturday evening. The trophy also comes with a USD 25,000 cash prize and is awarded to both the film's director and producer equally.
