…

Taxi drivers in the region’s small town spend more time waiting than they do driving customers to their destinations. But waiting doesn’t mean idleness, as conversations abound; some strange meetings that reveal a way of life are tactfully filmed. Sometimes, during a journey, arguments erupt in the car, until a breakdown occurs.

Filmmaking workshop held in May 2015 in Kissisxevi, a remote, mainly wine-growing village in Georgia, under the responsibility of Nino Kirtadze, with the assistance of Elene Naveriani and Aline Suter. One month in which to get lost in this village and region and to shoot there films about “le reel”, made of genuine encounters and stories actually experienced.
