Stranded on a small piece of land, on the border between India and Bangladesh, a small number of settlers try to survive by smuggling rice, medicine and livestock. Their lives became engulfed in misery when a flood washed away their village. Ghost-like figures, often filmed with infrared cameras, populate the screen, giving the film an almost eerie quality. The jury decided to give a special mention to a bold film that succeeds, through radical and sometimes puzzling formal choices, in conveying the atmosphere of a perpetually changing space: Char - A No Man's Island by Sourav Sarangi.
