Alexander Gabelia Veteran Georgian director/writer Lana Gogoberidze is editing documentary feature “Returning to Life.” The film is about her mother, Nutsa Gogoberidze, who was the Republic of Georgia’s first female film director, according to Film New Europe.Born into a rural teacher’s family in Saingilo, she studied philosophy in Germany, before becaming a film director.
But her career ended abruptly in the years of the Stalinist terror. She was arrested and deported, and her films were nearly lost.
But 80 years later, they are back on screen. For her daughter, the documentary is an act of returning her mother to life.“I wanted to make this film from the time when, after many searches, we found my mother’s faded films in the Russian archives.
The theme of my film represents the story of a woman who was struck by the cataclysms of an entire century,” Gogoberidze told FNE. “It is, on the one hand, very typical of the Soviet reality of the time; after all, millions of women were captured and deported as ‘members of the family of the enemy of the people.’ On the other hand, this story is distinguished because my mother was the first female director in Georgia and one of the first female directors in the Soviet Union. “Her films were banned by Soviet censors, but after 80 years of being lost, they returned to the history of cinema and are receiving the attention of the world film community.” The film, which is based entirely on archive materials, is produced by Akaki Togonidze and Salome Alexi-Meskhishvili through Georgia’s 3003 Film Production.
