Georgia, like many other cultural countries, has passed a long way from the oral culture to the written one and now it has been on the stage of digital culture. This long way includes all aspects of social, intellectual or spiritual lives of Georgia and Georgian people. The goal of the research is to examine the state of exploring the Georgian written cultural heritage before and after emerging of the new technologies and show how much it is ready to overcome the challenges of the digital culture. The paper emphasizes that, alongside with the internal favorable conditions, the strong cultural links with the Eastern and Western countries in the ancient and Middle Ages conditioned the high level of the Georgian written culture. In the period of the Soviet era, the cultural and scientific dialogue with the West was interrupted, which was recovered after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Since the 1990s, the new technologies created the new perspectives for research and the new challenges emerged before the Georgian scientists – to implement the technology-based methods in researches. By reviewing some scientific projects, carried out or running by the Georgian researchers, the paper sheds light on how the Georgian scientists overcame the existing problems and what problems they are facing in the epoch of digital culture.

Investigating the results of the hermeneutic analysis of the film Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), the author concludes that: this media text represented of the historical, ideological political and sociocultural context of the edge of the 20th century. The depth of reflection of the problems of women's education is closely connected with the political and socio-cultural features of the historical era. Media text realistically conveys the atmosphere of the past; in the plot line the pedagogical system is reflected, the theoretical basis of which was the traditional Victorian values (family, love, religion, patriotism, sense of duty, loyalty, modesty, generosity, generosity of the soul, etc.); The plot, densely immersed in the educational process, largely relates to the themes of growing up and is stripped of bright episodes of a sexual nature and liberated behavior; the main emphasis is placed on moral education, on the fact that cultural development was clearly conditioned by morals, which to some extent oppressed the rights of women as a free person; the film metaphorically reflected the social and moral struggle (for personal happiness, love, truth, the ability to determine life patterns independently, to follow one's wishes, freely express their thoughts, etc.); in this context, teachers are represented by strict, scrupulous in the line of conduct and observance of the framework of decency by female images.

The article is devoted to the analysis of German-language audiovisual media texts on school theme that were screened in Germany from the end of the Second World War to the present time by a method of comparative hermeneutic analysis. The analysis let find out that in the post-war period filmmakers sought to improve the social climate in society, to return to the pedagogical traditions of the Weimar Republic, to create a desired ideal image of student-teacher relationships, and tried to smooth the acute problems of the generation growing up in the post-war defeated Germany. An ideal teacher was portrayed as an adult that children can trust. In the period of the divided Germany, films about school reflected sensitive social challenges: misunderstanding of generations (parents vs. children), the search for opportunities to atone for the Nazi past for crimes against humanity through their recognition and condemnation. In films, rebellious moods were shown both in relation to authoritarian pedagogy and hypocritical sexual morality. Modern German cinema clearly communicates young people's mindset to search self, to identify one's place in life and society. Teachers are depicted as people above all, human beings with their personal worries and aspirations, experiencing moments of success and failure.

Crowdinvesting is also a tool for diversifying the investment portfolio. The article discusses the current issues of the development of crowdfunding in Russia. Crowdfunding is an alternative source of financing for small and medium-sized businesses that have difficulty obtaining bank loans.
