Filming locations in Georgia

Georgia is a small country in the heart of Caucasus. Geographically and culturally so diverse, this small country is like a huge film studio being set up by nature and locals. Starting from sub-tropics to the semi-desert, or ever-snowy Caucasus mountains to the alpine lakes that freeze 10 meters deep in winter, from the seaside to the vast fields and vineyards, Georgia can offer it all. 

Here you can see the 3000 years old man-made cave-town Uplistsikhe, rock-curved village Vardzia, oldest and deepest natural caves, number of national parks with vast forests, lakes, rivers etc, the highest settled villages in Europe:  Bochorna in Tusheti and Ushguli in Svaneti with its over 200 towers. The whole territory of Ushguli is an open air museum. 

What makes Georgia the best filming destination is that, together with being so versatile, it is also pretty small. This enables production teams to easily and quickly move around, change the scenes and film a variety of backgrounds in a very short time. As an example, it is possible to film skiing/snowy scenes in Svaneti in late spring, and on the same day, just 3- 5 hours drive away, also film summer-like scenes with people already swimming in the Black sea.

On top of that, being located on the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is an easily-accessible  filming location for TV crews of many countries. 

Georgia’s liberal visa policy allows most nationalities to enter the country visa free and stay here up to a year- less paperwork equals more comfort.
