In the 1920s, socialist censorship and ideology acted with strange concessions towards authors of avant-garde from time to time. There already existed a Bolshevik hysteria of unacceptability, which eventually created a censorship of non-existent facts in the 1930s. The same vocabulary, although much more direct and no less ignorant as well as a sense of ignorance was distinguished by the persecution of writers and poets of different ideas and those close to philosophy, faith and other values by German Nazism. There is nothing special ...<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t

Georgian short films often manage to say more than films with big-budgets and long runtimes. Sometimes just a few minutes are enough to make a viewer immerse in thought. To let them think about questions that have no easy answers. Such is exactly Giorgi Ubilava's short film, \"Beyond the Bars\" (2023). \nThis is not just a film about revenge. In fact, this is a story about people who have spent years tormented by their conscience and thinking ...<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t

One of the controversial issues in modernity is the essence and nature of man - is an individual a spiritual being or can his life be reduced only to biological and social existence? And if man is truly a being with a soul, another question arises: are there spiritual connections between individuals? Is there an invisible force, an inexplicable factor that connects people to each other? This idea is echoed in Giorgi Menabde's student film, \"Blood\" (2018), where blood does not only denote ...<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t
