“There is a wave of attacks on the church and national values. The evil is trying to demean and question everything that is valuable, to deprive people of their identity, kill hope and do this in the name of truth ", the Georgian Patriarchate stated about screening of the movie And Then We Danced.
“Someone is certainly disturbed by the power of the Church, the love of the people for God and traditional values, and does everything to question it.
It is no coincidence that in light of the events following the Holy Synod meeting, a screening of And Then We Danced was planned in Batumi and at three cinemas in Tbilisi.
It is also known that they intended to link the story to the Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet, which was firmly rejected.
Because of this position, the leaders of the Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet faced criticism, which is unfortunate.
Instead, the film that offends our national dignity was given the VII place at the Cannes Film Festival and actor Levan Gelbakhian was named one of the top 15 film stars by the W Magazine.
At the same time as before and today we are separating ourselves from violence and violent actions", the statement issued by the Patriarchate said.
