Nana Djordjadze is among the leading filmmakers
in the history of Georgian cinema. She was born in
1948 in Tbilisi, Georgia, part of USSR at that time,
and graduated architecture in her hometown. In
1974 she decided that nothing can stop her to devote
herself to her passion of cinema art and later
graduated as a director. She can do everything on
the set - writing, painting, acting, but mostly prefers
making movies. In 1987 Jorjadze received Golden
Camera in Cannes for Robinsonada or my English
Grandfather. In 1992 she was invited as a member
of the jury, and in 1997 she was appointed to evaluate
the film titles at one of the most prestigious festivals
- Venice. The same year her film A Chef in Love
was contender for Academie Award for best foreign
language film.
