Nutsa Gogoberidze

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nutsa (Nino) Gogoberidze (also spelled Ghoghoberidze; born 1903 – died 1966) was a pioneering Georgian film director. She was an associate of Sergei Eisenstein and Alexander Dovzhenko. Her 1934 film Ill-tempered was the first Georgian feature film in the Soviet Union directed by a woman.

Life[]

Nino was born in Kakhi, Saingilo in 1903. She obtained a degree from the philosophy department of the University of Jena.[1]

She married Levan Ghoghoberidze, a Communist party activist. In the 1930s, because of his activities, she was repressed. Following his execution in 1937, she was exiled for ten years. Upon her return, she abandoned the film industry and joined the Linguistics Institute in Tbilisi.[2]

Her daughter Lana Gogoberidze and granddaughter Salome Aleqsi-Meskhishvili are also film directors.[3][4]

Gogoberidze died in Tbilisi in 1966.

Career[]

Gogoberidze's first film, Mati (Their Kingdom) was made with Mikhail Kalatozov.[2][5][6]

In 1930, Gogoberidze released Buba (A Story of Mountainous Racha), a dramatised propaganda film.[2] This was almost immediately shelved, and was not screened for decades. The reel remained with the Gosfilmofond, the Soviet (now Russian) film archive, and was handed over to the Georgians in 2016.[3]
