The horrific war in Chechnya, a neighbor of Georgia, gives a special poignancy to Otar Iosseliani’s fascinating, four-hour, made-for-television documentary on Georgia which, like his delightful Chasing Butterflies (SFIFF 1993), was produced in France. Iosseliani presents the history of this former Soviet republic through beautifully interwoven images of landscapes, artwork and clips from other Georgian filmmakers such as Nikoloz Shengalaya and Tenghiz Abuladze. He illuminates the part played recently by two politicians, both KGB men but with very different destinies: Zviad Gamsakhurdia, an ultranationalistic demagogue who died in exile; and Eduard Shevardnadze, who is the president of Georgia today. close

The BBC turns to the story of the greatest natural disaster that shook the ancient world, the disaster that caused the collapse of civilization and gave birth to a legend, in the film BBC. Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend.
Around 1620 BC, a giant volcano in the Aegean Sea awoke after sleeping for the past 19,000 years. A powerful eruption destroyed the island of Tyra (better known as Santorini) and caused huge tsunamis that flooded the neighboring island of Crete, the center of the first great European civilization - the Minoan. This catastrophe, as many experts believe today, served as the inspiration for the legend of Atlantis.
The philosopher Plato, who outlined in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias the story of the death of a highly developed civilization called Atlantis, posed a mystery to many generations of researchers who tried to find the location of the legendary country. As many scientists believe today, it was the eruption on the island of Santorini that caused the appearance of myths, on the basis of which the story of Atlantis appeared. Written by BBC. Atlantis: The End of the World, the Birth of a Legend decided to recreate the world of the inhabitants of the island and the catastrophe that befell them.
With the help of state-of-the-art film technology, including CGI technology, they unfold a picture of the terrible disaster that has gripped the island and its inhabitants, giving the opportunity to see so closely one of the greatest disasters in human history. close

The first in a planned series of films about radical filmmakers by film critic Nicole Brenez and filmmaker Philippe Grandrieux, It May Be That Beauty Has Strengthened Our Resolve is a portrait of Masao Adachi, who emerged during the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s as a screenwriter for Nagisa Oshima and Koji Wakamatsu, and directed a series of avant-garde films that grafted radical politics to the sexploitation genre. A 1971 visit to a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) training camp while on the way back from Cannes resulted in Adachi's most infamous film, the agit-prop documentary Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War, which he co-directed with Wakamatsu. Soon after, Adachi joined a splinter cell of the Japanese Red Army in Lebanon, where he stayed from 1974 until he was deported to Japan in 1997 to serve time for passport violations. close
