‘Drift’ By Anthony Chen Bags Prestigious ICFT-UNESCO Gandhi Medal at IFFI 54

• The collaborative effort of French, British and Greek film makers, “Drift,” directed by Anthony Chen, has been honored with the esteemed ICFT-UNESCO Gandhi Medal at the 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI). This emotionally charged film delves into the life of an immigrant woman, Jacqueline, brilliantly portrayed by Cynthia Erivo, as she navigates the harsh realities of human madness. The award was announced during the grand closing ceremony of the festival held in Goa.
• “Drift” unfolds the compelling story of Jacqueline, a young refugee who finds herself alone and penniless on a Greek island. The film chronicles her journey to survive and confront her tumultuous past. Along the way, she forms an unexpected bond with a rootless tour guide, played by Alia Shawkat, illustrating the resilience that can emerge in the face of life’s uncertainties. The movie beautifully portrays how drifting through challenges can lead to profound and unexpected connections.
