Vako Kirkitadze, founder of Film Asylum and producer of the film, states:
“Every screening is an opportunity to share stories that aim to touch the audience’s hearts. It is especially meaningful to present the film at a festival of this scale, where true cinematographers gather — professionals who deeply understand how cinematic language is shaped through lighting, music, and visual detail.
A festival is not only about the screening itself. It becomes a platform for international audiences to discover our country. The dialogue continues beyond the cinema hall — in discussions, professional meetings, and informal conversations.”
At Film Asylum, every project is approached as a deeply personal story. Each member of the team is fully involved in the creative process. In Behind the Door, actors Merab Ninidze and Jano Izoria perform largely through phone conversations — a demanding artistic challenge. Special thanks to Gogi Gulordava and the company “Dagi,” who believed in the project from the very beginning and supported its development. Their enthusiasm and dedication are reflected in the film, allowing us to tell an honest and heartfelt story together.
