Cinemas Tbilissi

Look at the cultural program, there are often Georgian shows adapted to a French audience or the other way around, also film broadcasts. It is a cultural Eden for all audiences. Everything is planned, from tales read for children to meetings with Georgian intellectuals, there are debates with various themes. Let's not forget the film club and its rich programming. But of course, the media library is queen, with 16,000 books. Georgian language courses.

The Tbilisi multiplex, with 4 halls broadcast commercial films. The youth of Tbilisi is there. 10-15 lari.

The city film club, in the building of the Academy of Sciences (opposite McDonald's). This is the only way to see quality films in Georgia, for 1 lari (Almodovar, authors of the New Wave, Kusturica or Tarkovski are worshipped). But in general, these are bad-quality DVD vidéoprojections, and movies are often in Russian sync with one voice— not ideal if you don't speak Russian. The system of subtitles is almost non-existent in post-communist countries; for a French, this system of a voice that simultaneously translates all voices will be a sort of mess… usually question. Every Wednesday there are movies in English.

Of the only two real cinemas in Tbilisi, Amirani has the best program. It shows a lot of blockbusters; but every once in a while there is an art film, festivals, and when a Georgian film is successful abroad, maybe it will be shown there. You can also see interesting art films. Going to the cinema on a trip also allows you to share (before and after the film) a slice of life in Georgian society. A comfortable place to rest and relax also after a day of exploration.
