Georgien – Zwischen Kaukasus und Kontrasten
Noch niemand hat sich das Event gemerkt.
In the organizer's words:
ATTENTION: Change in event date -> SATURDAY
Georgia – Between the Caucasus and Contrasts
Lecture by Bastian Maria
It all begins with a journey. Not just a search for places and images, but for what defines a country at its very core. In his own camper, Bastian Maria ventures into the unknown: over rugged mountain trails, through wild weather changes, and into situations no one can foresee. It soon becomes clear—Georgia is a challenge. And it offers more than you’d expect.
In Tbilisi and Batumi, worlds collide: political protests in the streets, wild nights to the pulsating beat of the clubs—led by a female DJ. Amid old sanatoriums and futuristic skylines, Georgia becomes a stage of contrasts. With the WWF, he follows the trail of Europe’s last gazelles; high up in the Caucasus, he experiences festivals, offerings, and horseback tournaments that tell of ancient myths.
But the true Georgia lies not in the places—it lies in the people. A polyphonic choir sings in harmonious unison, while a qvevri master unveils the secret of ancient wine amphorae. A family of winemakers shares their hopes and dreams. An eighty-year-old mountain doctor climbs onto his horse undeterred, as if time had stood still.

Bastian captures all these experiences from various perspectives: with his camera, with a drone, and through personal closeness—a kaleidoscope of tradition, emotion, and humanity.
And yet one question remains: Does he find the real Georgia—or something entirely different?
