Full Film -Irakli's Lantern

High in the Caucasus mountains of Georgia, 78 year old Irakli Khvedaguridze has spent the last 25 winters living alone as the last inhabitant of Europe's highest village.

Curator’s Note:

Ben Page’s Irakli’s Lantern is an incredible film which comes from Europe’s highest village located in Georgia. This film evokes nostalgia amongst some of our immigrant and refugee community members who left such a picturesque landscape for various reasons. Irakli may remind you of that family member of a friend who never left home and stayed true to their roots. Dive deep into the scenery and Irakli’s story.
