Classic short docs from Georgia accompanied by live score


The London Georgian Film Festival is returning in its fourth year with another exciting programme of the best of Georgian cinema. The Frontline Club is partnering with the festival to host a screening of short classic documentaries from Georgia along with a live score.

The films, funded by the Soviet State, are dedicated to encouraging the mechanisation of labour, as well as promoting a culture of exercise and health.

He now lives in London as a freelance author, writing essays and columns for numerous Georgian magazines and newspapers. Morchiladze has published more than 30 books since 1994 and has won SABA, the major Georgian literary award for Novel of The Year, five times.
