"Bringing more viewers"
 ‘Such screenings should be arranged more often, so as many viewers as possible can watch these films and get information about their fellow citizens from other regions of the country; learn about their problems and joys, their customs and traditions. The fact that authors of the films are residents of the regions where the films were made, rather than visiting professional journalists, is very important’, Mariam Solokashvili, a journalist said after the screening of GO Group’s films in Rustavi.



Mostly young people were among the viewers at the screening of the GO Group’s films at the theatre ‘Bravo’. They spoke about the problems of the region during the discussion that followed the screening. 

 

They named the inertia of both the youth itself and the city’s authorities as one of such problems. In the young people’s opinion, Rustavi is not considered a separate city for it is located very close to the country’s capital. The majority of residents of Rustavi works and studies in Tbilisi.

Part of Rustavi’s youth goes to Tbilisi to entertain themselves, too, because there is not such opportunity in Rustavi. ‘Unfortunately, Rustavi has turned into a ‘bedroom city’ because nothing is happening here, and residents come home only to sleep’, Gegi Liparteliani, the director of the theatre ‘Bravo’, said.

Whole region in one human story


‘Besides showing one particular person’s life, your films display the situation in the region that person is from’, Ekaterine Kotolashvili, a journalist, said during the discussion that followed the screening of the Eyewitness Studio  films in Gori. ‘The film from Marneuli revealed the problems faced by the majority of women there’, Ekaterine added. More than thirty viewers attended the screening that took place at a youth café in Gori.
