Pirosmani Screening

The life of Georgian folk painter Niko Pirosmani comes to the big screen with Pirosmani, one of the rare gems of poetic cinema, presented by Othon.

The film portrays Pirosmani’s impoverished life, his often misunderstood artistic genius, and the paintings born out of the details of everyday life, through simple yet striking scenes. With traditional Georgian music, icon-like static shots, and frames reminiscent of paintings, it establishes a continuity between the artist’s works and his life. Pirosmani’s story is not merely an individual biography; it becomes a powerful cinematic representation of folk culture, poverty, and creative resistance. Calling on the audience to reflect not only on the life of a painter but also on the social and human meaning of art, Pirosmani is a visual poem, a silent lament, and a masterpiece that reminds us of the permanence of the creative spirit.
