Alexandre Koberidze | 2017 | Georgië | 202' | EN subs

Let the Summer Never Come Again is the first feature film by Georgian filmmaker Alexandre Koberidze. The film was awarded the Grand Prize at FIDMarseille in 2017 and has traveled through many international festivals. Alexandre Koberidze uses Sony Ericsson (W595) cellphone as a main tool for his film, which records video at 15 frames per second with 3.15 megapixels and provides the beauty of so-called "low resolution images". Let the Summer Never Come Again is a tribute to silent cinema with a novelisting storytelling and minimal narration. The biggest part of the film is devoted to the portrait of urban life in Tbilisi, Georgia, and the occasional patterns of beauty that emerge. The film runs for 3 hours 22 minutes, so we encourage you to make yourself comfortable, bring snacks, and take breaks if you need to!

Alongside our very special guest, Ketevan Kipiani, we will delve into the cinema history (and future!) of Tbilisi during a short presentation prior to the screening.
