Directed by Elene Naveriani and written alongside brother Sandro Naveriani, “Wet Sand” world premieres today in the Cineasti del Presente competition at Switzerland’s Locarno Festival.
Very much in line with the section’s mission statement, the Swiss-Georgian co-production is a vibrant example of emerging talent that has quickly grown into versatile auteurs with a striking control of their craft.
“Wet Sand” is Naveriani’s second feature and, beyond its craft and structure, playfully blends genres without losing a a clear auteurist voice.
Sold by Maximage, which produces with Takes Film, the feature is set in a small Georgian town on the Black Sea coast. Its inhabitants’ peaceful id mundane existence is broken when one of the locals is found hanged. His granddaughter, Moe, returns for his burial lifting the heavy veil with which her grandfather guarded his life, and casting light on the town’s entrenched bigotry.
