to well then progress as top calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w postcard. the mean has all, there's a bird in taiwan called the oriental turtle. dove gets cooped up in a cage. i will keep scratching at the sides and eventually i will die when that owns. and even if i stayed in one place, i might end up like one of those turtle. don't you don't, loyal friend joe? yeah, we have to put together what we have and share either or the experience is the resources, the knowledge is the net metering. i never thought about emigrating going to another country. you should live way experience. how is it the,

the good to metal stands for freedom of opinion of art and cultural exchange. it's germany's most important prize in for and cultural policy, and is awarded by the good to institute annually. the winners were presenting today and body, these freedoms in their home countries like theater makers, you a king and taiwan. and, and hungary is capital budapest. the off the and on a curator collective. but 1st to georgia, we're gosh, read. so has turned the capital city of tbilisi into a showcase for film and cinema. you get the best view of typically see from the old town, touched on a hillside. doug, actually to knows that like the back of his hand. he was born here and very studies and wept in germany, so much of his professional career this during that time. and again,

it was always clear to me, i'm georgia. i have to be involved here. i know i never thought about emigrating. we're going to another country, scott movies, guys. though i had many opportunities back in the day of center. but the way i see you should live where you found most at home. and who am i speaking to? how is that god? i felt at home in georgia in cinema for more than 20 years. he directed the tbilisi film festival and event broke global cinema back to georgia. he co founded the festival in 2000 a challenging time with post soviet georgia, still reading from civil war. and the chaotic 1st years of independence. the quote was a key that we had a big crisis in the 1990 is very few films were being made and the institutions weren't really working properly. clark, the spunk quote,

the studio was basically bankrupt and the states didn't support as either the boat . we started the festival with practically no money, $10.00 films, but that was okay because what we set out to do was to re awaken the movie culture . yeah, i think these as often the feeling the lunch of to me to eviction and reawaken it did just like in soviet days when pushed yano street bristled with cinemas like the iconic apollo theatre. as a child, he would go to the movies every day for over 20 years. now, god has been campaigning to preserve the greats of george's movie history. he credits his family for cultivating his passion for film, the white and both sides of the tent. my grandfather was a producer at a big studio cruise the film. it was called it as a boy, i was allowed to go to the shoots, which was incredibly exciting to. that's probably where i discovered my love for

the film a all but my brother became inactive. as for me, i wanted to study film making for it, and it wasn't a film school in georgia at the time of this car. and i think there was only one in moscow that i didn't want to go to moscow. so i gave up on it at both goga and then obviously the self get him to release the 2023. the political climate is changing together with his friend and co campaign, a historian lashelle because that's a guy that discusses the current situation. cultural professionals deemed trouble. some by the authorities are under pressure funds of being cut and stuff are placed, including conda, who was sacked as director of the national film center. former colleagues protested the dismissal in june this year, occupying the center in a surprise move. oh boy as well. so he's calm and very communicative as people go dog is also true to his principles. okay. so it's very hard to manipulate him,

have a shameful mind me for either. he can be stubborn. and for that reason, right, he's something of a star and the sides of those who think that they should be making all the decisions from big lovin is all in. alice said by and try it. the protests quickly became a political issue. that very evening ganga was invited to appear on tv valley. the conversation revolved around the latest purchase and literature, alt and film by minister jackson. new key on the on watching lee got became a stick ahead in the opposition to have policies he went on to receive the good to metal, considered german 4 and cultural policies most prestigious toward. but could the move be damaging if taken as in the front? the 9 is kelvin game. know quite the opposite. i think i'm certain the middle will help. it's clear from other examples that when someone has a robust international standing and good connections,

that that person has approached with caution. he's the past so and, and he's not a no buddy. he's not someone. you can just treat any way you like a month with him, and the good to metal underlines that you want those guys or it's movie night. it's a good to institute. the documentary about to be screen is considered to be for silva screens in georgia. today's special guest is direct to settlement jace. timing the garden shows ancient trees from the black sea coast are rooted and moved to a private garden. it's a hobby for a georgian billionaire ali gone and full of prime minister and an expensive one is that i should say that the gods, festive in spanish. it has been extremely supportive to georgia, the film and culture in general. it's one of the places where we come to have workshops meetings to have discussions, the screenings, so it is an amazing place. and we have always post this back behind us and plus on

top of that. so give this metal to god. god is a huge encouragement tool to the georgia film industry and i think to the whole country in general for us to understand that we are not alone here. somebody is there watching over us and supporting us the politically undesirable film was sponsored by the film center, a likely reason, forgotten as dismissal, and a topic for the ensuing discussion with good to institute president color lens. she's touring institute in the congress's god, the feels at home is the good to institute. he's well acquainted with german culture. he doesn't have to be attended. i started informa east germany to me, the g. d. thought i did these 2 halls of us. we were pretty free that because we weren't at home, that invested was we could say practically anything we wanted. it was august. coordinate me too. we made friends with hung gary ends of jackson, sloane,

vice. yeah. i didn't get there will don't have students that are the because we had to come in to press a boost. russia, the evil russians who have process and don't want us to develop as democratic countries. i think mcclockey said, and we joined god, got every union with friends from his studies. it, you know, on the menu all traditional to connie dumplings. but today is less about reminiscing than current events. got us friend my and ticket. there was a diplomat and for administer. she knows what's at stake. chauffeur c, i've been uh, deals and then this is the dispute with those in power ends badly. it wasn't you. i really hope that people will support him any way that people else gates and save what he started under like defense in beth and the in with us to say what has been so very important for cultural life in georgia. even google from hot on fossil ridge dish welfare, the square toilet evening. god, god has no doubt. george's young film scene has serious potential well

connected and hungry for new project. she believes young georgians are ready to take to the streets, to defend that culture. and the freedom, the big came from dr. you. that's all that we have fighting to keep in control institutions. democratic would not threatened by a states that use a censorship and repression as weapons and who would meet in late, november gag. actually they will open the 24th edition of the film festival. as for what comes next, any time can tell. the next stop on our journey to the 2023 good to metal winters is hungary. the curatorial collective of the off the amount of

budapest bring create is together independent of state funding the hungary and capital of budapest. in early summer 2023. a place where all for a terry and policies or restricting the free offs. themes, the all spin on a budapest is pushing back. we symposium like the season of darkness, female control activists encountering the contemporary political play. only these interactions and collaborations can save us these days coming together and avoiding ukraine are the 2 major effect doors which influenced our not only the symposium but our daily life is presentations and panels. right. and for 3 days that this independence control venue. neal guest, right. the off being honest, curatorial team is made up of 6 women back in 2013. 1 of them came up with the idea

of an alternative be in all day to counts predominant state sponsored on high net cash remote. you owe me officers to them to accept state funding can take pounds. not so easy to use and you don't artist creators, not many people have the opportunity to break what the states. it's quite impossible on an individual level, but the project can do it. and i think that's one of the, one of the goals, like the, the zip to sort of the reasons, bye bye. well, this people who started to approach reactance really positively to a, i think it was, it was it's, it's the good to start actually doing something together. the approach made waves in 2022. they were invited to documented in castle together with students and the design collective re such as a bonus. the off team conceived and built a bridge out of recycled materials. the name by guys

to to the command guy was, or was that once i made say, no, i didn't do a 3. i'm not totally do it in the how the days of the document that involving the kids, the students sounds fine with these neighbors. i mean that process the facing bc work for people who when later age was. so for me they must be the for my experience to be the one a 2, whether he's was eco to budapest, teams guiding principle, building something together. for example, an international exhibition on violence against women runs during the symposium and as a meeting of a new collective of small scale, been all those from prague, keith russell, rica. and for the past, of course, it's called these eastern european biennial alliance. none of us have this maintaining infrastructure, but usually by a newest or larger scale institution have. so we have to put together what we have

and share either or the experience is the resources, the knowledge is the network. the ukraine more has paying them closer together and then now planning to collaborate on upcoming osby and nowadays in eastern europe. such a kimco is already working on the next key being on a set to take place. and he's hoping to reinvigorate the local law. it's very important to reconnect them to the x, so co sourcing of keys and to, to allow them to book on the topic they've previously worked and around the topics reach uh, importance and all for people for us do their mansions around, shown in the off being on a tons, this funk lined on marginalized groups, the roman i'm a, is a long term project,

exploring content to activism, width and vice into ad room. but the goal is not to establish another brick and mortar building for room are throwing up people that dispersed all over to europe and beyond. so the question is whether is how to change the policies of museums and how to come to how to acknowledge the, the contribution to fool many people to our culture. such as best performance by doing a general was a multi disciplinary artist from the roman diaspora. which looks at an attitude the romance against the backdrop of rising nationalism, the even though they had an integral pass to the society that are less so fortunate, this for them to showcase the amazing works. well, i'm not totally sure, but also share, you know, with the communities which i think will be not, is doing a great job because they try to reach out to defend all this is the go to institute who depends to supposed to be off being on a from day want to see it, it's curatorial team is being awarded

a good to metal for its work promoting independent artists and helping them network across your pizza and on. but the team is, by the way, it still has it's one content for the always hold that to be create some kind of adorable s. and sometimes we are very engaged to be, invest a lot, and they still balance just as i wonder if a goes to middle is enough to create this to this the all spin on a buddha best playing a key role in the alliance of independent eastern european off festivals, shaping new phones of international solidarity, and creating turbulence in the process. the the last stop on our journey to the 2023 good to metal winters is tie 11 of the most democratic countries in asia. theater producer, you a king,

connect the island for public culturally to the rest of the world. taiwan is capital type. hey, is home to many theaters. one of them is the national center for traditional arts, drama, church and festival curator you way king is a welcome guest here. he's attending a dress rehearsal for a taiwanese opera. his career hasn't always run in a straight line. and in a way that's the secret to his success. all sorts of challenges. i read a lot when i was young because i was so hungry for knowledge, which was a huge jones that onto a, since i was acting a botello to and i drank a lot to relax and get to new people. it was a cl jones united down into the ease of getting a golf hung. so looking back to the door to i was like an animal preparing for winter and getting fat headed the cold, sorry, way to, to be the accumulated a vast amount of experience and knowledge that i still draw upon is not going to be

honest. the affinity accidents, how would you find and then of the opera is set to be staged at the time on arts festival. as curator, he way faces the task of bridging the 400 year history and culture of this southern city with the present day. he was the 1st choice, so it's on the good sofa. i think he's a very influential key right, to an teacher, though he knows the time and he's on, it's very well that the traditional data to hello typing on itself is a crucible for civilizations and traditional ok or whatnot. then for either the and see the in the office he way knows, and his connection to the world. his walk will be a model and fusion. and so it is really good at that time to the perfect good now. so this is the 1st on the site, it's on the way is always on the move around the island to get some of his best ideas. on the train. he studied philosophy and dramaturgy,

and taiwan and europe. now he passes on his knowledge at 2 universities in taipei and his work with young people inspires new projects. but you also, which is when you came class, you can get some truly good ideas and inspiration from the dialogue with students. and so that's why i value teaching so much show you also in conjunction with, even if it takes preparation, it's a stimulating because you can share something with the students on your new, which is switching sound good. i'm of and it's like an arts festival. so it inspires ours is to try things and lets them share it with the public. don't see the whole comment. couldn't 1000 french on the students react well to is often unconventional ideas. he gives them total freedom and encourages their unceasing curiosity, independent of any textbook. at 54, he's preserved many childlike qualities. these and others make a real impression on the students. for type kind of thing for us as have i. what

fascinates me most is how well he's prepared in every genre of the arts because he's worked in so many different fields on title and still he seems to tackle every project with the same approach in logic. i mean it's actually so since the 1990 he's, he's made his base in the capital t pay in 2012. he became artistic director of the type a arts festival. launching his career as a curator here together with a few like minded artists. he founded the want to dance festival, to give contemporary dance of public arena. the way sees dance as one of the greatest art forms hotels. and now here we establish a connection between the curator and the audience. so the space is relatively small and intimate with all this into, in the past few years and i've become more and more interested in dance. who's the uh yeah, we, uh, useful job denser. and i'm a very special type of artist which their material is their board and they work

with language and without use cuz he couldn't handle withholding. you know, that's right them. so i can have cross border dialogues with other art y'all. to always use the n c and taiwan largest independent dance festival, positively courts controversy. he weighs program rebels and freedom and absurdity the oversize diapers, and smacked bottoms in this piece by japanese choreographer race. so she moved jima set to soviet marches. most definitely linger in the mind. the thing was us who to order by, in our culture, in the way, we are educated, the elderly and people with experience a highly respected by the younger generation has. but i would also say he's a bit of a catalyst, a driving force drive. the way is in the city of calcium in southern

taiwan. since 2018, he served as a kind of freelance drama church at the national kashi on center for the arts. also known as we were getting it houses for large stages. he meets up with his teams almost every week to develop ideas, many of which might seem rather off the wall. basically, he is a crazy man. he read it's so much any kind of book. and he watched the performance and he watch tv, and the tv singers is, and the fumes. and he knows so much and he has the ability to, to make fun, does the week if you absolutely free to at least a 210 start of all of the, of the most view of the co operation. we, we, the people and organizations entirely. every december, the venue is transformed into a circus tent, with fire shows, acrobatics,

and magic e wait king, make sure the circus platform is never less than spectacular. many cultural institutions would love to have him on an exclusive contract, but he values his creative freedom. he needs it even, and he has all the complexity quite down to the well, there's a burden. taiwan called the oriental turtle dov telling you, enjoying your button g o. if it's cooped up in a cage to a point that will keep scratching at the sites, it's and eventually it was, it will die. what i just say you don't want to go back and show them. and if i stayed in one place, so i probably end up like one of those turtle doves. fine, this is on the table. i think i've proven that i can make a great contribution to theater and performance and tie one in my own way and who does it 3 time in the building. so and all the comments you back in type, hey chang is visiting his publishers. he's also had great success writing new introductions to novels by world famous writers, as well as books of his own. this year,

he's been awarded the good to metal for staging german theater plays on taiwan. he stages and for his skill in breaking down cultural barriers. type you all tie one type into this, the deal will how the to you to to, to the sound in terms of tie one's relationship with global culture as you, i feel like a transformer robot that's been upgraded to you and you'll be in the c good couldn't tie the t t and it's not only on the on or put things, but also a new responsibility of the body weight goes. now you will, you'll have to think about how i as a transformer, can use this influence to make more people aware of taiwanda. you certainly don't hold on time on key beacon door and kind of bringing tie ones, arts to the world, especially in times of crisis. with a powerful china next door is a cost the tie paid good to institute has taken up as well. for 10 years it's been developing projects with the way then via owns will need to discuss

a certain project focuses on by the time we take leave of each of that. we've gone over 5 more vide, yeah, just because he knows his way around so well and all his various roles. and he's a much so open minded about doing the best he possibly can to the international cultural exchange. nuclear schumacher in this house in the town or for the e way was raised by his grandfather. his uncle still lives here and is very proud of him. he knows that he weighs origins, have shaped him party. and so you go around, gene attends and i've noticed once again highly and is a very peaceful, tired scene. so on the way people deal with one another is simpler and the piece of slower a. while, while, as i say on those lines in this environment, the relationships are closer now what you to to i believe that it's been important to me and my work as a few razor to the state. and i for one to to why will to and daughter that goes

what i got while lean is a typical coastal town in eastern ty, one the way finished school here in the 19 eighties and then moved to taipei. but he's always drawn back to the pacific shores dining kind of, how does the whole need to it? when you look, i was at the ceiling, you become to see you certainly m t r a to the phone. so this is where i try to connect with another world. we like us to be a, the see is a great influence on me, totally unsuitable to the every time i come to the beach show her, i feel like i'm being restored. like ways by ways on, as they show through the gate nourishes inspires me, people, you'll, people told me i might not know what's at the bottom of the sea, say what you're the head, i do newly, i need this little bits all hiding me. is this something that will head she all save him? when he was younger, he would often come to the beach with his short wave radio and listen to us charts, songs the way king, a free spirit from taiwan clim,
