KAZBEGI

Absolutely radical: no speech, no conflict, just pure sensation. It is cinema as meditation.

Flora, fauna, light, wind, everything is conveyed with both scientific precision and love. I especially loved how you could hear even the flies and bees in the sound mix.

A stunning film! The atmosphere of the land, nature, and people is conveyed incredibly deeply. I have been to Kazbegi, and no photograph or video was ever able to capture even a part of what you feel there. But thanks to this film – with its magnificent cinematography and sound – there was a true effect of presence, you even begin to feel the aroma of the mountains. Special thanks to the festival organizers for the big screen and the cozy hall. Thank you for such a vivid and “tasteful” film!

When the foals are sleeping in the field under the sun, I almost cried. Everything felt so warm and familiar, like I had been there.

Every frame looks like a polished photograph. The colors, lighting, and perspective, a visual treat.

The shots of people in traditional garments and the live Georgian wedding soundtrack. This is a real gem. It’s a short film, but it holds deep cultural resonance.

Kazbegi is a testament to how minimalism can express the maximum. In an era of overloaded cinema, this feels like a breath of fresh mountain air.

Now I want to visit Kazbegi. This film didn’t just show the views, it captured the spirit of the region, the sense of time, air, silence.

Such a calm, wise film. It reminds you how important it is just to be and listen to the world around you.
