WINTER DEPRESSION WITH SUMMER ILLUSION

2023 year, დეკემბერი 2023, Ketevan Trapaidze /

As interesting and different as it is to depict existence while focusing on the realistic origins of cinema, so different is the essence of detailed existence for any director. It might turn into an effect of delight or at least a desire to comprehend a new world – that's how it might appear from the director's viewpoint... However, this is only a supposition. Plot motifs of the desire to perceive oneself, which are the concern of filmmakers of all generations ...

BLOWS AND BENEFITS THAT DEATH BRINGS

დეკემბერი 2023, Lela Ochiauri, Professional Film /

In the recent period, Georgian and world cinema have seen the cases of turning to renewed forms of parables, to fable narration. An atmosphere is created, which is based on convention and subtexts, contains a system of messages for the audience and reveals the author’s clear position. It hints, but does not explain. It has a hidden meaning conveyed by a system ...

დეკემბერი 2023, Teona Vekua, Professional Film /

გლობალური კატასტროფისა და მთელი პლანეტის სიკვდილის იდეა ახალი არ არის, მაგრამ ამჟამინდელ კრიზისულ სამყაროში ის უფრო მიმზიდველია. მასზე საუბრები განსაკუთრებით გახშირდა 2012 წელს, როდესაც მაიას კალენდრის მიხედვით გლობალური კატასტროფა იყო მოსალოდნელი. ახლა ეს უკვე წარსულია და მას კინოში ბევრი ნამუშევარი მიეძღვნა. ამ თემას არაერთმა რეჟისორმა მიმართა. მათ შორის არიან სტივენ სპილბერგი და ლარს ფონ ტრიერი. …

მთები, გზები, შემოქმედება

დეკემბერი 2023, Old Generation /

მთები და გზები – ხიფათიანი, ძნელადსავალი… მთები და გზები… მათ არ უყვართ სუსტნი და მერყევნი. დასაბამიდან მოდის ასე: ვინც მთას შეუდგება, ვინც გზაზე ფეხს შედგამს, რწმენა უნდა ჰქონდეს მტკიცე, მიზანი ნათელი, ნებისყოფა შეურყეველი. თუ არადა მთა გადაულახავია, გზა – გაუვლელი… ჭეშმარიტი ხელოვნებაც მუდამ ფიქრია, მუდამ განსჯაა ცხოვრებაზე, ადამიანთა სავალ გზებზე, იმაზე, რომ გზა დიდია და …

LIFE SACRIFICED TO PERSONAL INTERESTS

დეკემბერი 2023, Elene Tsagareishvili, Student Film /

Being human means being a merciless, cruel, selfish creature, who will always put self and personal interests before anything else in any situation or condition. This cruelty does not necessarily mean any kind of violence, but simply indifference, even inaction. When a person is an artist and is in a creative crisis, it should not cause surprise in others if his indifference is turned into cruelty and he has emotionless attitude towards circumstances, and perception and observation ...

LIFE AS A MASQUERADE

Barbare Kalaijishvili, დეკემბერი 2023, Professional Film /

Man is a small, pitiful creature. He only thinks about his own well-being. He has a big ego that he satisfies and feeds all his life, he doesn't look beyond himself, he doesn't care what happens to others and how he will be, he doesn't want to bare his feelings and care for the other person, he doesn't recognize other people's problems until it affects him directly. He thinks that the more he puts his "self" forward, puffs out his heart and walks like that, the better he will appear in others’ eyes. People, sometimes, are so weak that they build their happiness on the misfortune ...

Beyond the "Horizon"

Nana Tutberidze, ნოემბერი 2023, Professional Film /

There was a time when only a few women directors made films in the world cinema as well as in the Georgian cinema. Film directing, quite unreasonably, used to be considered more of a men's job. In today's Georgian cinema, many female filmmakers are indeed successful. In most of their films, the main characters are women, the world revolves around them with daily problems and not only. This time, the main character of Tinatin Kajrishvili's ...
