Now, Doclisboa has unveiled the core of its programme’s first module: a retrospective dedicated to Georgian cinema. This first strand will run from 22 October-1 November, at the Cinemateca Portuguesa. The programme was curated by director, editor and translator Marcelo Felix, and has been supported by the Georgian National Film Center. The programme will offer a broad selection of works, ranging from the 1920s until more recent years, in an attempt to present the diverse array of forms and themes present in Georgian movies, whilst also exploring the connection between the past and the present of this country’s cinema. According to Felix, this is “a long-overdue demonstration of Portugal’s recognition of this reflective, challenging and unique cinema”.
The programme will include Kote Mikaberidze’s My Grandmother (1929) and Gueorgui Chenguelaia’s Alaverdoba (1962), as well as newly restored copies of films (some of them provided by the Georgian National Film Center) helmed by Sergei Parajanov, Mikheil Kalatozishvili, Mikheil Chiaureli, Tengiz Abuladze and Otar Iosseliani, amongst others.
