The process of returning film heritage to the homeland preserved by Russia in Gosfilmofond continues.

Report.ge was informed by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia.

These films were shot from 1926 to 1930 and due to their antiquity the original materials of the films are in poor condition. The agency explained that this was the priority when selecting the films.
