Rezo
Rezo's hand-drawn sketches are brought to life through computer animation...and Rezo's narration is wise and soothing.
Rezo
The rich inner world of the renowned Georgian screenwriter, artist and puppeteer Rezo Gabriadze is as fantastic as the animation into which he has poured this story of his life. Rezo’s director son, Leo Gabriadze, who previously made the hit horror film Unfriended (2014), leaves it to his father to talk about a life suffused with magical thinking. The movie is an autobiographical animated documentary questioning ideas of deep humanity, kindness and survival during the uneasy times after the Second World War.
Rezo will be presented with the animated film Tweet-Tweet
Tweet-Tweet is filmmaker Zhanna Bekmambetova's cinematic debut, an exquisitely rendered portrait of the life cycle brought lovingly to life via a largely silent, Pixar-like journey of the
tightrope that is, in many ways, the way we live our lives as we toss n'turn, wobble and stride our way through fears and losses, joys and triumphs at times precariously and at times with
remarkable boldness.
