Mother and Daughter or The Night I Never Complete
Is life about encounter or separation? Lana Gogoberidze asks this question at the beginning of the film using a series of photographs in which she can be seen embracing her mother Nutsa as a child, like a film miniature. In Gogoberidze's family, filmmaking follows a matrilineal logic, in the third generation. Nutsa Gogoberidze was Georgia's first female director, then separated from her family for ten years as a Gulag prisoner and cut off from her censored work for the rest of her life. Lana Gogoberidze and her daughter Salomé Alexi set out to bring together the pieces of Nutsa's life. This is how they find her lost films Buba and Ujmuri. Lana can also be seen on set, surrounded by her film crew family: Filmmaking as a collective practice of care and tenderness. Deda-Shvili is an autobiography, a declaration of love and a work of mourning - the legacy of Lana Gogoberidze and, within it, that of her mother. The Gogoberidze dynasty sets poetry, dance and cinema against all abysses - a life shared together. (Gaby Babić/Barbara Wurm)
