This project, which received support from the Tbilisi City Hall, aimed to conduct research and analysis on the roles of female characters and personnel in Georgian cinema from a post-Soviet perspective. The research was conducted over a significant period of time, with a focus on specific decades and involved processing archival materials. As a result, a 250-page book was produced as part of the project, providing detailed insights and findings on the topic.
