George Ovashvili : 2017
In 1991 Zviad Gamsachurdia became the first democratically elected president of the newly independent Georgia, yet within a few months he was ousted in a military coup. He sets out for the mountains with a group of loyalists to regroup with his supporters. With their help he will retake power, or so he earnestly hopes. The film uses historical events as a frame to shape an archetypal story told with light melancholy and an unmistakable visual poetic. Set against an imposing Caucasus backdrop, we witness a man fighting for power while waging an internal struggle as he heads to meet his fate. George Ovashvili's feature premiered in competition at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2017.
