Un hombre poderoso tiene un pasatiempo inusual: construye un jardín privado con árboles centenarios que manda arrancar de pequeñas comunidades asentadas a lo largo de la costa georgiana. Esta película es una oda a la ancestral rivalidad entre el hombre y la naturaleza.

Un retrato íntimo de una comunidad convulsa en una ciudad postindustrial de Georgia, para la que se ha convertido en refugio un club de fútbol femenino local. Un manual de supervivencia (no solo georgiano) para tiempos difíciles. No se trata de tirar la toalla, es cuestión de cambiar la sociedad.

Flanked by her phlegmatic sidekick, Dariko is the only outside broadcast journalist at a local Georgian television channel. With derisory resources, she races from one report to another to give an honest, if not objective, image of the current events that shape her environment.

This German documentary looks inside a nearly idle restaurant in a dowdy building in the country of Georgia, its listless workers waiting for business to pick up. The mournful atmosphere serves as a metaphor for the uncertain future of Georgia.

The 2008 Georgian War resulted in the deaths of several hundred people and expulsion of tens of thousands from South Ossetia. Is there a way to show the tragedy of families that lost their loved ones, thousands of people forced to leave their homes, soldiers doing the fighting, and children who cannot comprehend the situation? Salomé Jashi answers this question in a way that leaves few apathetic, though the horrors of war are never visible on the screen. Her short film is based on an interesting formula of making the audience witness to a tragedy it never sees.

This is a gentle and slightly absurdist documentary about the Ardoteli family in the mountains of Georgia who discovered that a Chechen helicopter carrying cheese had crashed by their house. Dropped into the life of this family, a helicopter is gradually enfolded into their daily rhythms, transformed into something utterly unexpected. In this land free of electric cables, cows find a shelter and children set up their private playground in it. Patient observations through the rusted “eyes” of this helicopter unfold a story of a remote place exposed to just one piece of civilization.
