The Georgian-French co-production film ‘Children of Popodia’ has had its international premiere in France.
The film tells the story of Queen Tamar High School and its students, portraying the everyday life of Christian and Muslim youth living along the Georgia–Turkey border and their relationships.
The film is directed by Sopho Babluani and produced by Gela Babluani.
The production is a joint project between Georgia and France, created with the support of the Paris Regional Foundation. It received an award in the “Spirit of Faith” category at the Religion Today Film Festival.
The premiere was attended by the Minister of Culture of Georgia, Tinatin Rukhadze.
“This is a film about kindness, humanity, and love. The young people shown in this film remain faithful to the most important value: love. The pastor and Popodia are role models for them. The idea of love and tolerance is the main axis of this film. I thank Sopho Babluani and the creative team for the unforgettable emotions,” Rukhadze said.
Georgian audiences will be able to see ‘Children of Popodia’ in the coming weeks.
