Description:
“Censorship in the West is like everywhere else, it forces my colleagues to follow certain rules—the first rule being the box office.”
—Otar Iosseliani

The first in a mini-series on “Arts in the North Caucasus,” today we talk about film. “Talk about film?” It’s true,  This is one episode especially for the show notes. Film has emerged in the last century as one of the most moving art forms known to humankind. In the North Caucasus like in many places film has been harnessed to express  and process the pain, hopes, struggles, and joys of its peoples. Today we highlight films across the spectrum—old and new, comic and documentary—all of which will give you a colorful insight into a different world. So pop some popcorn and enjoy!
