      Otar Iosseliani

      Otar IOSSELIANI (1934, Georgia) studied maths and directing in Moscow. His first mid-length drama, Aprèl, initially succumbed to the censor's scissors. When he started to feel thwarted by the Soviet authorities, he moved to Paris. He won prizes for both Les favoris de la lune and Et la lumière fut in Venice. His film Lundi matin received awards in Berlin.
