Mikaberidze directed only 6 films throughout his career and only the above mentioned is known for the big audience however in 2017 National Archives of Georgia hosted a display of his works including photographs, sketches, and documenta...
An emerging Georgian director Alexandre Koberidze sets a lulling fairy tale in the 21st century. The auteur exposed the visual brilliance in his 2017 debut feature “Let the Summer Never Come Again” shot by old junk Sony Ericsson camera. It’s a 3h and 22m film with bold experiments and a nostalgic overview of Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia.

Though he made only twelve feature films in his sixty-three years of career he remains one of the biggest ...
Giorgiy Daneliya was a master of unconventionally comic narratives and imagery with his eccentric “Kin-Dza-Dza” (1986), satirical “Afonya” (1975), or with his 1979 melancholic masterpiece “Autumn Marathon.” “Mimino” is a pukka case of Georgian golden era films with grief and joy, comedy and drama, and lots of carnivalesque occasions.
Giorgi Shengelaia is also a master from the Shengelaia family who has experimented with lots of genres. He made musicals, also historical and battle films, a controversial adaptation of a popular story, and even the first erotic Georgian film or a slapstick comedy. “Pirosmani” titled after the dedicated Georgian artist chronicles the painter’s life...
