LinkedIn F(R)ICTIONS x LEFT BANK, TBILISI, 2023
In 2023, I co-curated a short-short film programme with Anuka Ramischwili-Schäfer, as part of a collaboration between F(r)ictions and Left Bank in Tbilisi.
After months of conversation about postcolonial space, land and borders, construction of nationhoods, cultural identities, work and production, intimacy and DIY making, food diaries, navigating and tending to desire in a capitalist world, escaping and remaining: F(r)ictions have selected experimental and DIY short films from artists whose practice is connected to West Asia and the Mediterranean, to exist together at an open air, informal evening screening and to continue these conversations.
Line-up:
• Raw Matter by Lika Tarkhan-Mouravi
• A State in a State by Tekla Aslanishvili
• Zoi (at PA.SY.D.Y. Hill / Ancient Ledras Park) by Maria Toumazou
• Walking Before by Anuka Ramischwili-Schäfer
• Narlık Sokak [pomegranate street] by Florenza Deniz Incirli
• Glasses Crack, Tablecloths Splinter by Anna R. Japaridze
• Προσπαθω να φανταστω (I’m trying to imagine) by Orestis Lazouras
• I Have Sinned A Rapturous Sin by Maryam Tafakory
F(r)ictions is invested in the risks audio-visual works take: film can place on time and create abstractions in ways that hint at multiple possiblities/differences/contexts and provoke curiosity and questioning. F(r)ictions is curated and hosted by Anuka Ramischwili-Schäfer.
Left Bank is a community space and nightclub located on the left bank of Tbilisi.
