Shot in a provincial Georgian town, Bakhmaro shows a three-story, multipurpose building that was formerly a hotel and is now in varying states of use or decay. The businesses in the building struggle, and the workers and inhabitants wait for change. Director and cinematographer Jashi creates a poignant, artful study that ruminates on Georgian society.

A Crypto Rush Aftermath

Salomé Jashi, Georgia, 2023

Financial pyramids have been a consistent feature in Georgia’s recent history. State banks, private lenders, and construction companies have all taken money from people with the promise of future profit. This film was shot in Javakheti, a southern region of Georgia on the border with Armenia and Turkey, an area that is mostly populated by ethnic Armenians.
