Wiki.
The Antique (Georgian: ანტიკვარიატი) is a 2024 drama film directed by Rusudan Glurjidze. Inspired by the 2006 deportation of Georgians from Russia, the film depicts a Georgian woman who moves in with an old man in Saint Petersburg and is pursued by Russian authorities seeking to deport Georgians from the country. A co-production between Georgia, Switzerland, Finland, and Germany, it is Glurjidze's second feature film, following House of Others (2016).
The Antique premiered in the Giornate degli Autori section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival on 6 September 2024. It was initially set to premiere on 28 August 2024, but the screening was suspended following a decree issued by the Court of Venice obtained by Russian, Croatian, and Cypriot companies over a copyright dispute. The suspension was lifted after the section submitted a counterclaim and the court authorised the screening.
The film was chosen as the Georgian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
