About the event
AN OLD GEORGIAN SONG
Otar Iosseliani, 1969 (20 minutes)
FUNERAL CHANTS FROM THE GEORGIAN CAUCASUS
Hugo Zemp, 2007 (21 minutes)
This double-feature pairs two short ethnographic films exploring the remarkable folk singing practices of the transcontinental country of Georgia. Entirely by ear, the singers create unique and haunting forms of harmony and counterpoint that are woven into their rituals of mourning and remembrance.
