"Documentary is never about a simple recording of reality, it’s about upgrading reality that conveys a point of view. It’s like shaping a sculpture out of a stone. So what does it mean to direct a documentary and where is the place of a director? How does the truth unfold itself and what do you do for it? How can the magical part of the reality come to light and how to capture it?“ – Nino Kirtadzé
