Venice Screenings of Georgian Film ‘The Antique’ ‘Suspended’ Following Court Ruling Over Copyright Dispute

Venice Days, an independent sidebar of the Venice Film Festival, has “suspended” screenings of Georgian filmmaker Rusudan Glurjidze‘s second feature film “Antikvariati” (The Antique).

The sidebar’s organizers have canceled the press and industry screening scheduled for Aug. 28, and the public screenings have been removed from the schedule.

The move follows an emergency decree by the Court of Venice obtained by three production companies – Viva Film in Russia, Avantura Film in Croatia, and Pygmalion in Cyprus – over a copyright dispute regarding the film’s script, according to a statement issued by Venice Days.
