MOTHER AND DAUGHTER, OR THE NIGHT IS NEVER COMPLETE

Deda-Shvili an game ar aris arasodes bolomde bneli

by Lana Gogoberidze

Greatness paired with modesty: 93 years old and a daughter, world-famous director Lana remembers her mother Nutsa, Georgia’s first female filmmaker. A cinema legacy that revolves around being human in dark times: feminist, loving, critical of violence.

TAMING THE GARDEN_still_01.jpg

February 17-18, 2024


Wolf Kino, Berlin
Weserstr. 59, 12045 Berlin 

In collaboration with the Georgian Film Institute, Wolf hosts a retrospective of Georgian films, showcasing seven films from 1930 to 2023.

 

Condensing the rich 115-year history of Georgian cinema into seven films is clearly impossible. However, the selected films aim to show throughout different times political, ideological and social context and prove that despite many obstacles, Georgian cinema remains untamed.

The need for these films to reach an audience is more important than ever, since the Georgian government and the Ministry of Culture pose enormous challenges for filmmakers, regardless of how widespread their local and international recognition may be. [read full word from Wolf Kino]
