Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze

From a small Georgian mining town Chiatura, we zoom out to scrutinize the geopolitical and economic interrelations that link this peripheral site of extraction to a vast network of places, subjects and processes across the globe.

Short by Giorgi Gago Gagoshidze.

In this speculative video essay, the filmmaker connects his medical history with the shifts in post-Cold War geopolitics and their impact on contemporary politics.

The source of this film is the personal life of my father, Nugzari, and his right hand. The hand that has been playing a crucial role in his economic and social life and has always been a guarantee of the financial stability of his family. The film traces a physical and a symbolic transition of his right hand: how the transition has been affecting his socio-economic life in his journey throughout different political ideologies that are represented and governed by symbolic hands.
