Tbilisi International Film Festival is partnering with Encounters Film Festival and Watershed, Bristol to organize DepicT! - a short film competition that will take place within the framework of the UK/Georgia: New Cultural Horizons 2019. The focus is on uncovering emerging Georgian filmmaking talent, which shows originality, imagination and the ability to engage in just a minute and a half.

The shortlisted DepicT! Georgia filmmakers, often in that crucial early stage in their career, are invited to the Tbilisi International Film Festival and offered a prime industry platform. The festival is a priceless opportunity for filmmakers to promote their work and make contact with a broad range of international industry professionals from distributors and producers to funding bodies and exhibitors, as well as other filmmakers.
