  • Film Education (Levan Koghuashvili, Maia Gugunava, Tato Kotetishvili) 139 1001 Ingredients for Making Films from Nana Jorjadze 146
    ~ editors letter ~ The year of 2015 started with our becoming members of the Creative Europe, while by the end of the year, with the purpose of supporting the cinema industry, Geor- gian government introduced a cash rebate system, we have been working on since 2009. I believe both of these initiatives will make a huge contribution to the develop- ment of our industry. 1 In 2016, movies of different genres will be released. It is notable that three feature films among those are directed by women. Projects we are currently working on are very important. We have announced new types of competitions on script development, including comedy and children’s movies, adaptation of Georgian prose of the 21st century, scripts dedicated to the 100th anniver- sary of Georgia’s independence, and animation. Winners are given long- term work- shops by European script doctors, so 2016 will be dedicated to the script development. The young generation has become active in the field: we had premieres of six short films and a short film by Data Pirtskhalava “Father” was the winner of the main prize in this category at Locarno International Film Festival. Other films – “Ogasavara”, “Fa- ther”, “Exit”, “Preparation”, “The First Day” – are also participating at different festivals. Masters of Georgian cinema are also making films side-by-side with the young genera- tion. I have to mention a film by Rezo Esadze “Day as a Month” with its extraordinary nar- rative structure and visualaspect, which will take its noteworthy place in our film collection. One of the most important goals this year will be to return Georgian cinema heritage from archives in Moscow and design a suitable storage facility for it.

  • Everywhere, Even in Africa
    1 IDZE N Marika Bakuradze with EVERYWHERE, EVEN IN AFRICA MERAB NI 2 It was April when I was first sent the script from Munich and called to casting. Filming was due to begin the following January, and when I looked over the script and saw the long strings of letters that are so characteristic of German texts, I became nervous. I felt there was no way I would be able to mem- orize it all in such a short time, and I decided instantly to refuse the part. However, my agent pointed out to me that for Caroline – the film’s director – my case was not unusual since a precedent had been set in a previous film of hers, Beyond Silence, “Nowhere in Africa”. Shooting movie. 2001 which had been made under similar circumstanc- es with the French actress Sylvie Testud. Testud’s character had been completely overdubbed in post-production, and if necessary my role would be handled in the same way. Hearing the voice of another in place of my own has always been, and remains to this day, one of the things I find most unpleasant and intolerable. When I saw Nowhere in Africa for the first time and heard somebody else’s voice I was devastated. Only twice over the course of the entire film can my real voice be heard: once when I speak English and once when I talk in the local African language, Kiswahili. Eventually, though, my agent won me over and I 3 went for an interview. The first round went well and the director asked to see me again.

Azerbaijan, opposing to the proposals for the settlement of the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict, presented by the Co-Chair countries, as before, was undertaking steps to undermine the negotiation process, even by refusing for months to meet with the Minsk Group Co-Chairs and seeking to move the discussions on the issue to other international foras.

The vulgar tyrant Varlam Aravidze quotes this Shakespearian sonnet LXVI (minus the two final lines) to an admiring but justifiably uneasy audience of his future victims in a scene from Pokaianie (Repentance), Tengiz Abuladze's phantasmagoric film about fascism and the abuse of power.1 The sonnet is a perfect microcosm of the film, and its documented injustices (and 1 Tengiz Evgen'evich Abuladze, b. 21 January 1924 in Kutaisi; studied Rustaveli Theatrical Institute, Tbilisi; 1946- 1953 studied All-Union State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in Moscow, with Sergei Iutkevich; 1953 began professional film-making career in Georgia. Pokaianie is the third film of Abuladze's trilogy, which began with Mol'ba (Supplication; 1968) and Drevo Zhelaniia (Tree of Desire; 1977); Pokaianie is Abuladze's seventh film.
