On behalf of Batumi International Film Festival (BIAFF) we want to inform you on following:
- Due to current situation in Georgia (war with Russia) we have to postpone the festival dates. Right now we are not very sure about the new dates but are considering the first half of October, 2008.
- We will update everyone in beginning of next week about the date of festival. We are sure that with support of international community the Russia's aggression will be stopped and Georgia will continue peaceful development. Unfortunately, Russia still stays as Evil Empire and Jandarm of Europe as it was in past. And right now by occupation of Georgian territory clearly shows a signal to the world that they still live with imperialistic vision. It is not only Georgia currently fighting for its freedom but it is a very important stage for many neighboring countries, region and security in Europe. Today it is Georgia -tomorrow can be other country victim of Russian aggression.
Thanks for all our friends who are supporting in this hard times, especially to - USA, Poland, Ukraine, Baltic countries and France. We hope on effective, urgent measures to stop Russia (even after yesterday's agreement to stop fire, Russian troops were continuing bombing and shooting civilians in Georgia and even attacking churches and monks).
You can sign (and forward to others too) the online petition - "Stop Russia's Unlawful Military Invasion in Sovereign Georgia" - http://www.petitiononline.com/557799
