Georgian cinema has become much more interesting, refined and versatile. Many young and talented directors joined it. Dark, depressive films of the same topic, created at the end of the last century and the beginning of the new one, have moved back. The screen lit up, got colored, the image became sharper, the number of films also increased and they started marching upright in the international arena...
ნიკო ლომოურის ლექსი, „ყინვა და პატარა მოწაფე“ თითქმის ყველასთვის, ვისაც ეს ლექსი უსწავლია, ბავშვობის პირველი სიღრმისეული განცდის, წარუშლელი სევდიანი ემოციების გამომწვევ მოგონებად არის სამუდამოდ ჩაბეჭდილი. რეჟისორ გიორგი ოვაშვილის ამავე სახელწოდების მოკლემეტრაჟიანი ფილმის (2023) ინსპირაცია სწორედ მისი ბავშვობიდან გამოყოლილი ანალოგიური შეგრძნებების პროდუქტს წარმოადგენს. მართალია, საბავშვო ჟანრის ფილმი ოვაშვილის შემოქმედებაში სიახლედ აღიქმება, მაგრამ თუ დავუკვირდებით, მის წინა …

Lana Gogoberidze has had a prominent place in Georgian cinema for more than 60 years. From the very beginning of her work, in the first feature film, "Under One Sky" (1961), her interest in the fate of women, their problems, which is inherent in all her work, was evident. But the reflection of this topic concentrates on the fateful and dramatic date of the totalitarian country – the year 1937, which destroyed the largest part of the outstanding, thinking, creative people of the country and their family members. The director focused on the tragic events of her childhood forever imprinted in her memory and the resulting emotions. As a result of studying the existing available and objective documentation, she, at the age of 93, made a documentary film, "Mother and Daughter or the Night is Never Complete."
