Georgia far-right groups protest at gay film premiere

Description

Far-right groups in Georgia protest as an Oscar-nominated Swedish-Georgian gay film premieres in the capital with a heavy police presence. Set in Georgia, "And Then We Danced", Sweden's official Oscar submission in the best international feature film category, is a love story about two male dancers in Georgia's national ballet company. The drama has won worldwide critical acclaim but was denounced by the Caucasus country's influential Orthodox Church as an "affront to the traditional Georgian values". IMAGES
