8/4/2024 – Florian Muehlfried: “The Georgian-Russian Border: Perspectives from the Periphery”
Florian Muehfried, in his presentation, traces the transformation of the border between Georgia and Russia from soft to hard based on the example of the Georgian highland region Tusheti. After the breakdown of the Soviet Union, the border region was managed flexibly and “from below”. This was followed by an internationalisation of border guarding and attempts to its spiritual fortification. These three phases of border guarding can be related to three different models of the state, and of being a citizen.

Film Marathon: We wander through the nearby environment, around the university neighborhood, searching and filming, using mobile phones or any other available means, images, sounds, and sensations that capture a mosaic of identities coexisting in a single moment in time. The Haiku poem, consisting of three lines, serves as the vehicle for cinematic composition, aiming to create a short film with a maximum duration of 1 minute, composed of three shots.

Below are some of the short films created by the workshop participants:
