Christopher Vourlias Georgian producer Tekla Machavariani, in Locarno this week for the world premiere of director Tato Kotetishvili’s “Holy Electricity,” which plays in the Swiss fest’s Filmmakers of the Present section, has unveiled a slate of new features at her Tbilisi-based production company Nushi Film.
Among them is the first Georgian-Japanese co-production, a film inspired by the brutal Georgian Civil War of the early-1990s, and a movie set among the hip-hop generation of the 2000s in the crime-filled streets of Tbilisi. “When I founded the company, my main goal was to work with my friends who were inspiring me.
They taught me cinema,” said Machavariani, who launched Nushi Film in 2015. “For me, the most important thing is to make Georgian films with directors with whom I grow.
We start with short films and then, slowly, we go through the journey together.” “The Dog is Barking” is the ambitious feature debut from Georgian contemporary artist Vajiko Chachkhiani that marks the first co-production between the former Soviet Republic and Japan.
