Masakazu Kaneko’s Ring Wandering, which explores Japan’s wartime past, won the top award at the 52nd International Film Festival of India that concluded on Sunday (28).
The Golden Peacock winner in the International Competition section was selected for being a “beautifully photographed combination of fantasy and manga-inspired reality, reflecting a fascination with the echoes of the past reverberating in present-day Japanese society”, the jury headed by Iranian director Rakhshan Banietemad said in a press statement.
The Golden Peacock has a cash prize of Rs 20 lakh for Kaneko and Rs 10 lakh for producer Takashi Shiotsuki. Also on the jury were Ciro Guerra, Stephen Woolley, Vimukthi Jayasundara and Nila Madhab Panda.
