Lana Gogoberidze
November 29, 2024 to January 8, 2025
For over six decades, the work of Lana Gogoberidze, one of the most important directors in world cinema, has oscillated between two poles: intimate, private, familial – public, social, political. Gogoberidze's film worlds are marked by people's everyday lives, intertwined with the problematization of gender roles, intergenerational relationships, and political questions. These mainly focus on the life experiences and perspectives of women against the background of (totalitarian) history. In her films, the director enthusiastically stages expressive and unusual faces. In Gogoberidze's family, filmmaking follows a matrilineal logic: Her mother Nutsa Gogoberidze was Georgia's first female director. Salomé Alexi, one of Lana Gogoberidze's daughters, is also a filmmaker.
