BETWEEN LOVE AND FEAR

Family is often perceived as the safest, most protected space - a place where trust is unconditional and love conquers everything. However, the reality is much more complicated. There are moments when alienation appears even between the closest people, when the pain of the past and unfinished conflicts, misunderstandings and once unexpressed emotions destroy trust. At such times, family can become a space where love coexists with fear, and care takes on rough forms. A space where silence speaks louder and emotions ...

THE MOST RADICAL FORM OF CARE

საინტერესო და მეტად ფილოსოფიური შეკითხვაა, რაზე წახვიდოდი საყვარელი ადამიანისთვის? თანამედროვე საზოგადოების ყველა კულტურული მოქალაქე ვარიდებთ ამ კითხვას თავს. ალბათ, არც გვაქვს ამაზე პასუხი ან საერთოდაც გვეშინია ვუპასუხოთ. მაქსიმალურად ვცდილობთ თავი დავიჭიროთ ლამაზი ღიმილითა და კოხტად შეკრული ჰალსტუხით; მაგრამ რა ხდება მაშინ, როცა სოციალურ-ეკომონიკური ფარდა ჩვენს შინაგან რეალობას აღარ ფარავს? რას გავაკეთებთ, როცა იძულებულნი ვართ რომ

THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND LANDSCAPES

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 ...

DREAM OR REALITY?

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 ...

BETWEEN TRADITIONS OF PAST AND NEW TIMES

ბობ დილანი 1960-იანი წლების გარდამავალ პერიოდში, როდესაც ახალ და ძველ თაობას შორის დაშორება ყველაზე მეტად გამოიკვეთა, ახალგაზრდობის „ხმად“ მოგვევლინა. მისი სიმღერა „დროები, ისინი იცვლებიან“ ერთგვარ მანიფესტად იქცა ჰიპურ რევოლუციას ჩამორჩენილი უფროსი თაობის მისამართით. ომის შემდგომი ახალგაზრდობის ფრუსტრაციისა და არსებული რეალობის პრობლემების „მიკროფონად“ ეს მინესოტელი პატარა კაცი აირჩიეს. ინდუსტრიალიზაცია, ომები, მასკულტურა – ქაოსსა და გაურკვევლობაში ამყოფებდა

EXPERIENCE REVIVED IN DRAWING

The unique ability of animation to convey a person’s inner world in a surreal way lies in its complete freedom to ignore all the laws of physics and logic, which feature film can never achieve. This medium becomes a direct window into the subconscious where emotions, fears and thoughts are not only described but also materialized on the screen. Surreal animation allows objects and environments to change shape and content instantly and illogically, thus directly letting the image follow the flow of the character's thoughts. For example, during times of deep anxiety, objects ...

BIRDS THAT WILL NEVER FLY BACK

Society is often harmful as a systematic, uniform, rigid structure because it kills people’ s opportunity even in their childhood to express their free innate inner nature and accustoms them to obey imposed strict rules, to combine predetermined roles, teaches them who they should be, what they should love and how to live their short lives. Vazha-Pshavela wrote: “A person is born free. Look at a child how freely he acts when he can move, he touches everything that his eye and ear can reach; he moves his arms and legs when his mother puts him in the cradle and puts bands on his hands. Only the thought ...

THE ENDLESS RHYTHM OF LIFE

ყოველდღიურ ცხოვრებაში ადამიანები ხშირად ფიქრობენ, რომ წასვლა გამოსავალი არ არის, რომ გაქცევას მხოლოდ სუსტები ირჩევენ. ერთი შეხედვით, თითქოს ამას თავისი ახსნა აქვს – ვიღაც ყოველთვის ქადაგებს, რომ უნდა იყო ძლიერი, გაუმკლავდე ყველანაირ სირთულეს ისე, როგორც დავითი გოლიათს, მაგრამ სინამდვილეში, ცხოვრების სუფთა ფურცლიდან დაწყებასაც იმდენივე გამბედაობა სჭირდება, რამხელაც გზის გაგრძელებას.  ესკეიპიზმი, რომელიც მსგავს ასპექტებზე ხმამაღლა საუბრობს
