Caucasus Cinema brings together passionate filmmakers and artists for total immersion in their craft. You have one goal - to make the best possible film before the deadline. This requires collaboration and improvisation, as well as trust and generous support of other people’s visions - so they bring the same energy to your projects.

This isn’t a classroom, you learn by doing. The other participants are bringing the same intensity and commitment, but with complementary skills. You may be a cinematographer, but you’ll have round the clock collaborations with actors, writers, directors and so on, from around the world.

You’re encouraged to take risks and try new skills, while sharing experience and talents. At the end of the day, you’ll be amazed by what you can create in a week, and how your skill set grows after a few weeks of this immersive focus.

See the gallery and “How was it?” section on this website for more info.

You can come for a portion of the dates, but we require you commit to at least three weeks, so you have time to fully participate and make the most of Cinema Caucasus’ unique, immersive structure.

Our website (www.caucasuscinema.com) will have the latest info and you can follow Caucasus Cinema social media from there.

Caucasus Cinema will arrange sleeping accommodations in the various municipal sports halls and schools, with access to bathrooms, electric outlets and showers.

You will be provided with an inflatable bed and a sleeping bag.

We suggest you bring a sheet and pillow and anything else to sleep comfortably.

Caucasus Cinema is free, which includes a place to sleep, transportation between towns and scheduled classes and workshops. You’ll need to pay for your own food and any other expenses during the trip.

Participants are expected to bring their own equipment, including computers. Often, collaborations factor in who has what equipment, and you’re likely to be able to find what you need from other participants.

Caucasus Cinema will do it’s best to provide auxiliary equipment such as lights and sound kits, but their availability is not guaranteed.
