▻http://agenda.ge/news/67994/eng
After more than 20 years of talks, in the coming weeks Russia will begin transferring old Georgian films created between 1916 and 1990 back to the homeland, announced Georgia’s Special Envoy to Russia Zurab Abashidze.
I want to announce very positive news before I meet with Russia’s Special Envoy Grigori Karasin tomorrow in Prague. The process of transferring Georgian film archives from Russia will begin in the coming weeks,” Abashidze said today.
Georgian film archives, including feature and animated movies created between 1916 and 1990, are currently preserved in Russia’s Gosfilmofond, a Russian state-run fund established in 1937 during the Soviet Union era.
