"Four Films by Otar Iosseliani"
1962-1976
Directed by Otar Iosseliani

Four films by acclaimed Georgian filmmaker Otar Iosseliani. The director's contemporary fables of modern life and traditional values have been compared to the classic comedies of French master Jacques Tati. Shrewdly whimsical and filmed with a poetic casualness, Iosseliani's universe is one of joyous pessimism. Includes April (1962, 45 minutes), Falling Leaves (1968, 90 minutes), There Once Was a Singing Blackbird (1970, 80 minutes), and Pastoral (1976, 90 minutes). Georgian with English subtitles.  305 minutes.
