City of The Sun

City of The Sun

20th TDF: Greek premiere

Chiatura is a city in Western Georgia that was founded by Georgian poets and aristocrats in the 19th century, it turned into an industrial center by the Soviet regime, but became a ghost town after a grand scale human and technological experiment. A spectral, purely cinematic place revives in a transcendental way, as we hypnotically crawl into the dreams and destinies of extraordinary characters that balance between surreal magic and pure devastation.
