The Australian production Via Gori, written and directed by George Barbakadze, has been selected to screen at the London International Film Festival next month.
The film, about the 2008 war between Russian and Georgia over the province of South Ossetia, was produced by Sydney-based company illuminar, but shot in Georgia in 2009.
Post-production took place in Melbourne and Sydney.
“In Australia we are aiming to hit all major cities/festivals so the film gets a wide festival viewership before we aim for a television deal,” producer Lazaro Hernandez told Encore. “Internationally we are also aiming for major festivals and cities, though since it’s an expensive proposition to enter festivals – we have to be careful and judicious. We hope that as the word on the film spreads, we will get some festivals to contact us based on the quality of the film, its subject matter, and its strong positioning at major festivals around the world.
