Goals
Problem statement:
The 21st century is the era of technology. Every day, technology makes our lives easier. However, there is a darker side, which is the reduction of human relationships.
In big cities, people can meet up and interact with each other in their leisure time. However, in small towns such as mine, this is harder to do. Most families have internet access, and this keeps people at home and online instead of meeting others.
We believe that no matter how advanced technology becomes, it will never substitute the relationships between children, parents, neighbors, and friends.
Proposed Solution:
Based on such an observation, I decided looked for an optimal solution to strengthen our community relationships, taking into account the benefits of technology, human relations and the needs of my local community.
As Bolnisi does not have a cinema, the citizens cannot watch movies together and discuss them. For this reason, I came up with an idea of a “movable cinema,” which will show animated, scientific, foreign and kids movies in the villages and small towns of Bolnisi and everyone will have a chance to enjoy them.
One of the best things about the “movable cinema” is its universalism – it will not be situated at a specific location. Instead, it will be able to be transferred between different settlements in Bolnisi. It will be an outdoor, open-air cinema, where movies will be seen by the local population, including school students and teachers, kindergarten teachers, retirement home beneficiaries, people with disabilities, and also ethnic minorities as Bolnisi is ethnically diverse.
This project includes all the localities, settlements, and villages of Bolnisi: Kazreti, Balichi, Ratevani, Mukhrana, Nakhiduri, Kveshi, Rachisubani, Tandzia, and Bolnisi itself.
In this area, public schools are serviced by free buses. By working with this type of transport, we can make it easier for those with mobility issues to access the nearest location of our “moveable cinema.”
Sustainability:
During this event, people will have time and opportunity to communicate with each other, hold discussions and exchange ideas. This will bring the local society closer and form a friendlier community. It will also increase contact between generations, people with disabilities, and ethnic communities. It will be beneficial for the youth as well, who will have a chance to spend their spare time doing something interesting.
The implementation of the project is not difficult and does not require any special skills. Having the technical support and a group of few volunteers will be enough to fulfil the purpose of the project. In summer, the movies will be shown in open-air on a regular basis, and after that, they will be shown in different places for various ethnic, social and age groups. Based on partnership with LELP Bolnisi Municipality Kazreti Public School #2, the school projector will be available to use. The rest of the technology will be kept in the school building.
Equal gender opportunity:
The cinema will be open to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity or gender.
