Filmmaker Salome Jashi's award-winning documentary Taming the Garden - praised at Sundance Film Festival for "astonishing cinematic style" - is set to debut for cinephiles in Germany and Switzerland starting on Thursday.
Opening at 22 cinema theatres in 16 German cities - from capital Berlin, to Munich in the south and Cologne in the west - Jashi's feature-length work will bring to film-goers a look of the director at residents of a seaside locality in Georgia and their reactions to the sudden development of century-old trees being uprooted from the surroundings.
