“Have you ever had a bird fly from your hand? Have you ever felt that lightness? That’s the thing… My grandfather shared it with me. I still remember that flying up. I felt such happiness, that…. it seemed that I was also soaring into the sky. At such a time, you feel the whole of your body the movement of your soul…the motion...

სამხრეთის ქვეყნებისთვის თოვლი იშვიათი და ცოტა მისტიკური მოვლენაა, მათ შორის საქართველოსთვისაც. ის თითქოს დროს აჩერებს და ამ გაჩერებულ დროში ადამიანებს სამყაროსგან განცალკავებისა და მარტოობის განცდა ეუფლება.  ბაკურ ბაკურაძის ფილმში, „თოვლი ჩემს ეზოში“ (2024) მძიმე და სველი ფიფქებით თოვს. თოვლი მოდის და დროსთან ერთად გმირების „გაჩერებული“ ცხოვრების მოწმეებად აქცევს მაყურებელს. მთავარი გმირი ლევანია (ლევან გოგოლაძე), ოდესღაც

Poetic cinema is a cinematic approach and style that focuses on the use of visual aesthetics, emotional resonance and symbolism rather than the rational logic of narrative. It tries to create on screen a feeling that is close to the feeling one gets when reading or listening to poetry, where the content is often conveyed through metaphors and associations rather than a clear plot line. The essence of poetic cinema is that it places image above narrative. It is a cinema where metaphor, allegory, intense symbolism, atmosphere, rhythm and mood play a central role. As a poet, the director uses camera, editing, sound ...

Abkhazia and the topics of displacement are very common in Georgian cinema. After the 1992-1993 conflict, many people lost their homes, families were separated from each other and thousands of people were forced to settle in other places. This history is still important for Georgian cinema. Directors often return to this topic and show people's pain, loneliness and disappointment from different angles and directors will always have something new to say as long as this conflict exists. Apart from pain, films with similar topics often highlight resilience, mutual assistance and the strength that can save a person in difficult times. That is the reason why films about Abkhazia and displacement...

This problem is historically old, however, alienation has become an organic part of everyday life against the background of technological progress and a life oriented towards consumption in today's life. A person is no longer just alone, he is systematically isolated. It is precisely the diagnosis of this spiritual ...

Any documentary or feature film shows a clear incompatibility between individual potential and social reality when it presents the figure of a little boy, a child who grows up in rural poverty and hardship but has a big, unfulfilled dream in his heart. Many young people face this dilemma. Here, aspirations, dreams, and goals confront limited financial and material resources. This social problem is global and shows inequality of opportunities, where the place of birth and economic status decide a person’s future. The main problem lies in the lack of mobility within society in such cases. A person’s dream (be it science, art, or any other aspiration) requires appropriate resources: quality education, technological accessibility and proximity to development centers. Living in poverty itself implies a lack of these fundamental ...

In 2012, a documentary was broadcast on TV Channel 9. It was a story about a young woman who grew up in an orphanage and lived in the street with her 4-year-old son. She worked every day, begging for alms to rent a place in an Internet cafe for 5 GEL, where she would spend the night with her child. The audience took her story to heart and was moved by it. People were calling on television to find this woman and help her.
