GNFC Heritage

Georgian → English

Status: Needs permission

36 Georgian films from the 1920s and 1930s, restored by the Georgian National Film Center and the National Archives of Georgia, free to watch worldwide. The Film Center's stated goal is to make Georgian cinema accessible abroad.6 Some restorations already have English intertitles,7 so the first task is to list the films that still lack them, then ask the Film Center for written permission.
