Dear Colleagues and Friends,

we cordially invite you to the premiere of a new documentary film by the Centre for Early Medieval Studies. The film tells the story of the great cultural wealth hidden in the unassuming churches of the most remote parts of the Caucasus.

The inhabitants of the Svanetia region of Georgia have protected these treasures for generations, which is why they have survived even the most difficult historical periods. Visit these inaccessible places with a group of scientists who have literally unlocked the door to the past.

The premiere of the film "The Silver Shield of Georgia: Svanetia and its Hidden Treasures"
will take place on April 11 at 18:30 on the main stage of the Husa na provázku Theatre.

Admission is voluntary at the door.

We are looking forward to meeting you

The documentary was made with the support of the Université de Fribourg within the project "Cultural Interactions in the Medieval
Subcaucasian Region: Historiographical and Art-Historical Perspectives " with the financial support of the Czech Science Foundation.
