At the 2014 Film Festival the documentary When I Walk was shown. This year we have a sequel to that show.
The film director was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis in 2006. His first movie captured his struggles in coming to terms with his disease and disabilities. This documentary details the breakdown of his marriage and his separation from his young son.
I can't say it was an "enjoyable" film but it certainly highlights the issues people living with disabilities face.
This was the show everyone was waiting for. The selection committee for the Festival usually pick winners but to have this screening the week after it won four Academy Awards was brilliant. In spite of a glitch at the first showing the organizers managed to get it back for two screenings.
What starts out to be a comedy turns into something a bit more brutal.
The film tells the story of a young male dancer, Merab, hoping for a spot in the National Georgian Ensemble. When a newcomer arrives in the group what starts out as a competition between the two soon becomes a forbidden love story.
The last dance shown on screen was incredible.
