A ROOM OF MY OWN - Youth Jury - Fiction Competition FIFDH 2023
Screening of the award-winning film, "A Room of My Own" by Ioseb "Soso" Bliadze
"The honest and remarkable performances of the two main actresses as well as its mise-en-scène in close proximity to the protagonists have succeeded in immersing us in this intimate and true story. In our opinion, the film’s message of emancipation is particularly resonant in this era of "wokism". This film is another reminder that through reflection and enlightenment it is possible to escape from conservative traditions and societies. The film offers a perfectly controlled mix of credibility and humour."

A Room of My Own
By Ioseb "Soso" Bliadze
Tina and Megi become roommates somewhat by chance, but the two young women find themselves sharing more than just a flat: they are fighting, each in their own way, for their own emancipation in a society that is still overly patriarchal. In a present-day Georgia, the two protagonists explore the possibilities of freedom driven by a genuine desire for independence. Without moralizing or condescension, the film and its outstanding actresses take us to the heart of the questions and doubts of a generation that cannot find its bearings in the legacy of the past.
