Mestia International Short and Mountain Film Festival and the Svaneti Heritage
Mestia International Short and Mountain Film Festival took place 22-26 of August 2023, Alice Kanterian was a guest and covered for filmfestivals.com. At the opening ceremony on August 22, 2023, festival director Khatuna Khundadze drew attention to the local Svanetian heritage and culture. Mestia, this picturesque Georgian town located in the Caucasian mountains is hosting the third edition of the Mestia International Short and Mountain Film Festival from the 22-26 of August at the local Art and Culture Center. The Art and Culture Center, run since 2018 by actor Gegi Paliani is quite impressive, and to my surprise currently hosts a photo exhibition about all round artist and genius Sergei Parajanov.
This great film director and all round artist born in Georgia was of Armenian descent. In Armenia they say that the best Armenians are the ones from Georgia!
The city of Mestia is the heart of the Svaneti region, while the village of Ushguli, the highest continuously inhabited settlement in Europe, is the soul of it. 10.000 habitants living in this region still speak the Svanetian language and have their own traditions. The Svans have their own cuisine and spices, and a proper language which is not a dialect I am told by Khatuna, and is not understandable for Georgians.
Preserved by its long isolation this Upper Svaneti region of the Caucasus is an exceptional example of mountain scenery with medieval-type villages and tower-houses. So it does not come as a surprise that Khatuna came up with the idea of organizing an exceptional film festival based on the mountain theme. We have other examples of well established international film festivals focused on the mountain theme. There is one in Brasov (Romania) and another in the Bavarian village of Tegernsee (Germany).

Love All, Review: Goodbye badminton, Hello badminton

Since the score 0 (zero) in games like tennis and badminton is the starting point for the players, these games begin with Love All. After a dozen films on cricket, footfall, hockey, sp…
