Georgian film recognized as one of the best at Moscow Festival

The prize for the best film in the contest programme "Prospect" of the 31st Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF-31), which passed on June 19-28 in the Russian capital, was awarded to the Georgian film "Conflict Zone" filmed by Director Vano Burduli.

The plot of the film is based on real events in Georgia in 1990s. After disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Caucasus saw civil and ethnic wars, which turned the prospering land into one great burning zone of interethnic conflicts.

The film heroes - Gogliko, an ordinary guy from Tbilisi, and Spartak, a sniper from Sukhumi, - happened to be fellow travellers to Nagorno-Karabakh. Although one is going there just to pay his card debts, and the other wants to execute his commander's order, they both, in order to survive, have to keep together and act jointly. Lives of these two unlike young men intersected in the "conflict zone", which changed their fates forever; this is what writes the "Georgia Today" about the film.
