Why Georgia

The Caucasus on camera

Georgia packs 5,000-metre Caucasus peaks, medieval tower villages, cave monasteries, vineyards and a Black Sea coast into a small country, with Tbilisi’s mix of old balconies and bold Soviet modernism.

Its Film in Georgia rebate covers commercials and reality shows as well as film and TV. Georgia combines easily with Armenia and Türkiye.
