As part of a meeting with documentary photographer and filmmaker Otto Lakoba, there was a screening of the film Monologue, an experimental work about the Republican Psychoneurological Hospital in Sukhum. The filmmaker explored how the inner states of its patients reflect the world beyond the hospital walls.
Otto Lakoba on the project:
“The protagonists of the film are people of extreme focus. Observing their lives means understanding a bit more about yourself. This is not a documentary about a social issue. It’s a horizontal film about people where you, as the director, share life with them - without judgment.”
