MELODIES OF VERA QUARTER (VERIS UBNIS MELODIEBI) Film Screening (ENG subs)

Wednesday 24. December at 20:30 - 22:00

FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi

Giorgi Shengelaia | 1973 | USSR/Georgia | 1h38m | Presented in the original Georgian audio with English subtitles

A rare opportunity to see Georgian musical storytelling on the big screen!

A Christmas/New Year favourite with Georgians, the film follows Pavel, the father of two young girls Maro and Tamro, and Vardo, a laundress. The young girls dream of going to ballet to school, but Pavel couldn't possibly afford it on his meager salary. Vardo decides to take it upon herself to help them.

Directed by the son of Eldar Shengelaia - Giorgia Shengelaia - who is an outstanding director in his own right, the story is sweet but it's the songs that people remember. If you're interested in Georgian cinema, MELODIES OF VERA QUARTER is arguably the closest thing that passes for a local Georgian Christmas flick. It also stars Sofiko Chiaureli, perhaps best known for her leading role in Parajanov's famous THE COLOUR OF POMEGRANATES.

And of course if you've already seen it, come join us and singalong to all your favourite musical numbers!
