Mestia, Georgia

Mestia International Short and Mountain Film Festival

29/07/2025 - 03/08/2025

The Mestia International Short and Mountain Film Festival was founded by the Mestia Center of Culture and Arts NNLE and filmmaker/producer Khatuna Khundadze. Conceived as an event screening mountain-themed feature films, among others, it will be the first festival of this kind to be held in Georgia, a mountainous country stretching alongside the Caucasus Range. Georgia is not spoiled for choice when it comes to short film festivals either. Fortunately, the Mestia International Short and Mountain Film Festival embraces both moviemaking areas. The festival comprises four sections: International short films. International feature-length mountain films. Retrospective screening of Georgian short films. Special section. Georgian films have always been praised for their film scores, the reason why the founders have decided to award a special prize for best film score.
