The screening of “Moira” directed by Levan Tutberidze (Georgia) will be organized as a part of YARAT Film Club. The Club aims to become an informal meeting point for the viewing and discussion of contemporary art videos and films.

“Moira” premiered at the 2015 San Sebastián International Film Festival and was selected as the Georgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.

After Mamuka is released from prison, he tries to rescue his family from poverty. His mother is working abroad, his father is wheelchair-ridden, and his unemployed younger brother appears to be attracted by criminals. Mamuka takes out a loan and buys a small fishing boat, eager to work and bring his mother back.

The brothers name the fishing boat after Moira, a goddess of fate. But fate is often blind and merciless.

Levan Tutberidze was born on December 24, 1959 in Tbilisi, Georgian SSR, USSR. He is a director and writer, known for A walk to Karabakh (2005), Moira (2015) and Tbilisi, I love you (2014).
