Something About Georgia (Nino Kirtadze; France, 2010)
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PFA Theater
(see times)
The war with Russia, in August 2008, over the disputed region of South Ossetia becomes the central concern of this examination of Georgia’s relationship with the European community. Kirtadze picks up the story earlier that year, during the reelection campaign of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. She follows Saakashvili closely, even as Russian bombers strike Gori, just an hour’s drive west of the capital. Suddenly, Georgia holds center stage in world news; European diplomats arrive, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy mediates. Something About Georgia reveals the political process as well as responses by ordinary Georgians who see the independence of their nation threatened.
• Photographed by Nathalie Durand, Octavio Santo Espirito, Denis Gravouil, Kirtadze, Zurab Kodalashvili.
