Lana Gogoberidze (Georgian: ლანა ღოღობერიძე) (born October 13, 1928, Tbilisi) is a Georgian film director and politician. She is the daughter of Nutsa Gogoberidze, another famous female Georgian director. Gogoberidze's father Levan Gogoberidze was murdered as a part of the Great Purge in 1937, while her mother was sent to a prison camp for twelve years. She was first sent to an orphanage and later taken up by her aunts. She also wanted to become a director, but the relevant education was not accessible to her because both her parents had been persecuted. She instead studied English and American literature, including the work of Walt Whitman, at Tbilisi State University. Following the death of Stalin, she could go on to study at the Department of Film-making of Moscow State University, from which she graduated in 1958. Gogoberidze headed the Director's Studio at the Rustaveli Theatre School, Tbilisi, in 1975. In 1988, she became President of the International Association of Women Directors. She was elected to the Parliament of Georgia from 1992 to 1995. From 1996 to 2000, she was a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2004, she served as Georgia's Ambassador to France. Gogoberidze's fiction and documentary movies have won several international awards. Her film Day Is Longer Than Night was entered into the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. In the same year, she was a member of the jury at the 34th Berlin International Film Festival. She also holds the State Award of the USSR, the State Award of the Georgian SSR, the People's Artist of the Republic of Georgia and the French Legion of Honour. Gogoberidze was married beginning in 1958 to the architect Vladimir Aleksi-Meskhishvili (died 1978). She has two daughters, with Salomé Alexi also becoming a director.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Read More
