Chemi Bebia (My Grandmother) is a Georgian avant-garde slapstick silent comedy that was banned
in the Soviet Union for almost 50 years. And it’s pretty easy to see why. Whereas later Georgian fi lmmakers
became rather adept at slipping political criticism under the noses of the Soviet censors,
this fi lm ends with a completely unambiguous rallying call for the death of bureaucrats.
