A constant presence at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, as I've noted in previous years, are Georgian films – rarely achieving the poetic heights of Alexandre Koberidze's cinema, but always of substance and worth watching; often a flicker of... something amidst many less inspired titles in the competition. Much potential is also found in director George Sikharulidze's debut, Panopticon / Panoptikoni, a co-production with France, Italy, and Romania (Tangaj Productions), making it, by proxy, the only Romanian presence in this year's competition for the Crystal Globe.
