В Грузии показ фильма превратился в победу над фанатизмом

Показ фильма про геев «А потом мы танцевали» в пятницу превратился в битву воли между толерантной частью и правых групп грузинского общества, когда последние пытались сорвать премьеру фильма в Тбилиси и Батуми.

«А потом мы танцевали» был снят в Тбилиси Леваном Акином, шведским кинорежиссером с грузинскими корнями.

Премьера фильма, повествующего историю о романе двух танцоров из национального балета, состоялась в рамках «Режиссерской ночи» в Каннах в мае 2019 года, а затем фильм получил ряд высших наград на Сараевском кинофестивале, Гентском кинофестивале, Одесском кинофестивале и Карлском кинофестивале.

Фильм уже вызывал волну противоречий, когда работа над ним была завершена, но правые группы решили, что его нельзя показывать в грузинских кинотеатрах, и попытались сорвать показы в шести кинотеатрах в Тбилиси и Батуми, несмотря на то, что билеты на все показы на выходные были распроданы.

Правые группы возглавлял так называемый «Грузинский марш», это люди с предполагаемыми связями с поддерживаемыми Кремлем группами. Долгое время Россия пыталась вбить клин между Грузией и западными странами, сославшись на то, что западные либеральные ценности несовместимы с грузинскими традициями. Их основная акция в пятницу вечером проходила перед кинотеатром Амирани в Тбилиси, хотя сообщается и об сообщалось и в некоторых других местах.

Однако грузинская полиция решительно защищала общественный порядок, одновременно обеспечивая свободу выражения мнений. Несмотря на протесты и некоторые задержки и неудобства, показы на всех шести площадках состоялись. Несколько нарушителей были арестованы.

Мэр Тбилиси Каха Каладзе, комментируя инциденты, сказал:
«То, что произошло вчера это нехорошо. И очень грустно. Люди разных национальностей, верований и ориентаций жили, живут и будут жить в Грузии в течение многих лет. Права каждого человека всегда были защищены, они все еще защищены сегодня и будут защищены и в будущем ".

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
