Enterprise Georgia, an export promotion agency of the country, on Tuesday announced the launch of a commercialisation programme for Georgian feature films in a bid to promote and increase sale of cinema produced in the country in the international market.

Screenings of Georgian films will be hosted at “leading international film festivals” where “influential sales agents and distributors” will be invited, the Agency said, adding it was accepting submissions for participation in the contest.

Production studios who are beneficiaries of the Film in Georgia state programme, and producers of features that receive financing support by the Georgian National Film Centre, are eligible for the programme.

Their applications for participation will be accepted between April 11-18, with the winner to be announced later during the month.
