Those characters, and that story, seemed emblematic of our times, even in Italy: a wealth that doesn’t come from work, but from the most ruthless of financial speculation; the dashed hopes of climbing the social ladder; the anxiety that money causes; a generation of young people forced to pay a higher price Istituto Luce Cinecittà for happiness, because of the fitful ambitions of their parents, or their own frustrations. The story Annabella Nucara of Drew Hagel—the restless real estate agent who takes advantage of his daughter’s presumed Rome, Italy relationship with the son of a wealthy broker to try and join the board of an aggressive investment +39 06 722861 fund—immediately struck a chord.

  • 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.

  • Mid-August Lunch
    Tangerines Director: Zaza Urushadze Country: Estonia/Georgia Date: 2013 A review by Dennis Harvey for Variety: A small-scale, poignant and accessible anti-war statement, Georgian writer-director Zaza Urushadze’s “Tangerines” spotlights regional conflict in 1992 Abkhazia, as one longtime rural resident who’s refused to flee takes in two wounded fighters on opposite sides. Beautifully shot by Rein Kotov, this seriocomic miniature won the audience award and a directing prize at last year’s Warsaw Film Festival, and is sure to accumulate more acclaim en route to niche international sales. Biz could be helped by the recent bump in attention to its otherwise little-noted setting: At its uppermost tip, Abkhazia is less than five miles from Winter Olympics host Sochi, but it might as well be 5,000, since the disputed territory’s borders remain tightly closed. Once ethnic/nationalistic strife commenced in the wake of the Soviet Union’s dissolution, a large local minority of Estonian extraction mostly bowed to pressure and left for their ancestral homeland. A stubborn holdout is carpenter/grandfather Ivo (Lembit Ulfsak), who’s stayed behind partly to help neighbor Margus (Elmo Nuganen) harvest his annual tangerine crop. Worrying when the fighting will reach them, they don’t have long to wait before it does — just outside Ivo’s doorstep, there’s a shootout between Georgian and Russia-backed North Caucasian forces that leaves several dead. To avoid attracting reprisal violence, the two men bury the victims and hide their vehicles. But they can only do so much to control the animosity that moves right into Ivo’s home, between temporarily bedridden survivors Ahmed (Giorgi Nakashidze) and Nika (Mikhail Meskhi).

Ivo decide di portarli dentro e, mentre si prende cura di loro, scopre quanto siano profonde le cicatrici della guerra.

At the end of 19th century? Fair point. But when I read Truth and Justice for the first time I was affected by how contemporary the struggles of the novel’s characters were and by how strongly they resonated with my own pursuit for self-fulfillment.
