Originally, a patriarch was a man who exercised autocratic authority as a pater familias over an extended family. The system of such rule of families by senior males is termed patriarchy. This is a Greek word, a compound of πατριά (patria), "lineage, progeny", esp. by the father's side (which derives from the word πατήρ – patēr meaning "father") and ἄρχων (archon) meaning "leader", "chief", "ruler", "king", etc.
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are referred to as the three patriarchs of the people of Israel, and the period during which they lived is termed the Patriarchal Age. It originally acquired its religious meaning in the Septuagint version of the Bible.
The word has acquired specific ecclesiastical meanings. In particular, the highest-ranking bishops in Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Roman Catholic Church (above Major Archbishop and Primate), and the Assyrian Church of the East are termed Patriarchs. The office and ecclesiastical circumscription (comprising one or more provinces, though outside his own (arch)diocese he is often without enforceable jurisdiction) of such a Patriarch is termed a Patriarchate. Historically, a Patriarch may often be the logical choice to act as Ethnarch, representing the community that is identified with his religious confession within a state or empire of a different creed (as Christians within the Ottoman Empire).

Plot
Entirely filmed in Georgia, "Iberiana" is a short film where fictional narrative borders documentary and performance while adopting a thesis that dates back to Ancient Greece. Because some still believe the Iberian Peninsula had its genesis in the Caucasus, a Basque painter tries to find its roots traveling through the other Iberia: the oriental one.

The Romantic Dither of the Decade!
Plot
Young Prince Valiant, son of the exiled King of Scandia, journeys to Camelot to become a knight at King Arthur's Round Table. He hopes to help his father reclaim his throne from the pagan usurper Sligon and restore the Christian faith to their homeland. On his journey he stumbles on the mysterious Black Knight plotting with the Viking pretender to overthrow Arthur. Barely escaping with his life, Valiant encounters Sir Gawaine, a friend of his father's who tutors the young Viking in the skills needed to be a knight. Valiant and Gawaine's pupil/mentor relationship is complicated by their romantic involvement with Princess Aleta and her sister Ilene, daughters of a British nobleman. If Valiant is to restore his father's throne and prevent the coup d'etat against Arthur, he must uncover the true identity of the Black Knight.

Sir Gawain: You were a young fool. But I was an old fool, which is worse.
Prince Valiant: I called you a traitor when you delivered me into Sligon's hands and now I say it again - traitor!
Sir Gawain: Stop interrupting and I'll tell you what happened. After you left I went out after you. That's when I came upon the Black Knight.::Prince Valiant: You found him?::Sir Gawain: Aye. He was searchin' the wood when I challenged him. We fought and he was good. His lance broke and I outhorsed him. I came in to finish him, when a dozen armed men came charging out at me.::Prince Valiant: They were on foot? Armed with bows?::Sir Gawain: Aye. It was only with luck I escaped through a hail of arrows.::Prince Valiant: So did I!::Sir Gawain: You what?::Prince Valiant: I was set upon by a band of archers, escaped with an arrow in my back.::Sir Gawain: Where was Sir Brack?::Prince Valiant: I don't know. I was nearly captured where he told me to wait for him. Now he says he went back to find me and found no one. Isn't that strange sir?::Sir Gawain: What do you imply?::Prince Valiant: It's hard to put into words, sir, but could it be that he covets King Arthur's throne more than anyone knows?::Sir Gawain: Sir Brack. A foul suspicion, Val. Unworthy of you.::Prince Valiant: Yes, I suppose it is unworthy.::Sir Gawain: Sir Brack may have been born on the wrong side of the blanket, but he's a Knight of the Round Table, sworn to pledge allegiance to our King, and to defend justice, the weak and the helpless.::Prince Valiant: I'm sorry, sir.
Sir Gawain: You turned out to be flinging rocks like any lowborn ruffian. Why I've never been unhorsed by such a scurvy trick!
Sir Gawain: A man does not risk banishment or death in borrowed armor unless the stakes are high.
Princess Aleta: [to Valiant] I hate you! I love you! I'll never marry anyone else!
King Luke: What's wrong with Sir Brack? His blood is as good as Arthur's!::Princess Aleta: And he never lets us forget it as his own father apparently did.
Sir Brack: Traitor is a word that winners give to losers, and you've lost.
Sir Gawain: The truth hurts sometimes, but it's the only thing to build happiness on.
Sir Gawain: If you're King Aguar's son, why did you fling that rock?::Prince Valiant: I thought you were the knight that was after me.::Sir Gawain: What knight?::Prince Valiant: All I saw was his black armor.::Sir Gawain: The Black Knight? You saw him?::Prince Valiant: I near had his lance in my back. Who is he?::Sir Gawain: A ghost.::Prince Valiant: Oh, ghosts don't chase a man in daylight.::Sir Gawain: Right.

I see what I need to see.
You are not better than me.
