Film by David Tsvariani & Giorgi MegrelishviliCast:Giorgi MegrelishviliGiorgi AkhobadzeDavid TsvarianiAbout Film:The famous Italian naturalist, collector, biologist and one of the most prominent travelers of his time Georgio Megrelini arrived in Papua New Guinea in 1894.He planned to gather useful information for his contemporary fellow scientists about yet unknown New World and tried to record his impressions, shoot each discovery and capture all interesting details by means of motion-picture camera, which was a revolutionary innovation for that time.His journey was filmed in detail by his apprentice, whose name, unfortunately, history couldn't save for future generations.The film showed reaction, created by the first contact between the representatives of two different worlds—Civilized and Stone Age.It must be brought to notice, that Signore Megrelini called the natives—Papuans, in accordance with the name of Papua New Guinea.At that time there was known almost nothing about those local natives so it was very interesting for scientific circles to learn about their lifestyle, in which they succeeded after seeing that filmBut could Signore Megrelini be mistaken when he named those local natives wild and underdeveloped representatives of the New World?And were there really so much differences between those two worlds?
