Overview of Georgian Film
The platform Georgian Film Review is dedicated to an overview of modern Georgian film, its
features, trends, major aspects, and new movies; however, the reader will also find some materials from the history of Georgian film and also the best reviews developed in the early years by the film critics of the older generation.
Professional and student film critics are involved in the working process of the website, whose analytical articles regarding Georgian professional and student feature, documentary, and animated films will greatly contribute to the refinement and development of our film criticism as well as the popularization of the Georgian national film.
The website is bilingual, in Georgian and English, in order to provide desirable and proper information for both local and international movie fans.

What would you sacrifice for the person you love? It's an interesting and very philosophical question. All of us, the civilized citizens of modern society, avoid this question. We might even not have an answer to it or we are afraid to answer it at all. We try to control ourselves with a beautiful smile and a neatly tied tie but what happens when the socio-economic curtain no longer covers our inner reality?
