A Tunnel

A Tunnel

2DCS/ESU
Director:Nino Orjonikidze, Vano Arsenishvili
Premiere:7. March 2020
Length:92 minutes
Genre:Documentary

Director: Nino Orjonikidze, Vano Arsenishvili

When two Chinese workers emerge from beneath the wooded Georgian hills, it looks like the start of a lightweight comedy about a clash between two distant cultures. This scene is however just one small piece of a mosaic of episodes documenting the complexity of a project linking China with Europe. We see the fate of the villagers battling to maintain the old orders in the midst of life’s uncertainty, the uprising of the local labourers for fairer working conditions, and the local elders whose ground is dropping from under their feet. The minor daily conflicts in the small space of the village reveal the absurdity accompanying this intercontinental project.

Length: 92 min

Year: 2019
Local premiere date: 7. March 2020
World premiere date: 24. November 2019
