Cinema-goers across the United State (US) will soon be able to watch a special Georgian film that was nominated for an Oscar as one of the best foreign language films.
After multiple screenings in several European countries, Estonia-Georgia co-production Tangerines (Mandarinebi) will soon debut in cinemas across the US.
The premiere of the war-time drama is expected to be held on April 17 in cinemas throughout the country after it was bought by American independent film company Samuel Goldwyn Films late last year.
Since then, the company has created a new trailer and advertising posters for the film to better suit the American audience.
