8th Live Screenings International Film Festival

Experience the best of world cinema in Tbilisi! Two days filled with award-winning films, special guests, and most importantly — you choose the winner.

The 8th Live Screenings International Film Festival invites you to two exclusive evenings of independent cinema at Art Cinema.

Two days that will make you think, laugh, and even cry. We present a carefully curated selection of the most exciting, emotional, and provocative short and feature films from Georgia, Italy, the USA, the UK, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, and beyond.

You are the jury!
At this festival, you are not just a viewer. Watch the films, vote on-site, and determine the winner of the Audience Choice Award.

Language & subtitles:
All films will be screened in their original language with English, Georgian, and Russian subtitles (depending on audience needs).

Meet the filmmakers:
Directors and actors will join as special guests.

Festival Highlights:

• THE AQUARIUM (Italy): Can artificial intelligence heal a broken heart? A witty contemporary comedy about searching for love in the age of algorithms.

• MY FRIENDS (Georgia): A special premiere of Elene Kurtandze’s film dedicated to the power of friendship.

• WE TOOK YOUR MUM (Russia): An 8-year-old boy’s search for his mother turns into an investigation — part fantasy, part reality, and entirely unpredictable.

• THE LAST ACT (USA): A gripping thriller set in New York’s theatre world. How far can one go for a final moment in the spotlight?

• BUDU (Turkey): A visually stunning animation about roots that cross borders — from the Black Sea to the heart of Georgia.

• SALAM ISA (Azerbaijan): A spiritual, mystical journey where the boundaries between life, memory, and the supernatural dissolve.

• UNBOXING (Kazakhstan): A bold visual experiment exploring the “silent epidemic” of modern consumerism.

• THIN WALLS (Peru): When “passionate sounds” from new neighbors awaken forgotten romance in an elderly couple. A charming story proving that love has no age.
  …and many more!
