About

Third Cinema Days launched in 2024 and put on its first alternative festival in March 2025, at Kinos Sakhli in Tbilisi, Georgia. Among the films screened were No Other Land, a selection of Jocelyne Saab shorts, and Tekla Aslanishvili’s The Mountain Speaks to the Sea. We curated a programme for Kutaisi International Short Film Festival in September 2025, showing films by Kamal Aljafari and Saeed Taji Farouky. 

Third Cinema Days screens global cinema and seeks to build solidarity between Georgia and different international struggles. Screenings are always free. Masks are recommended, in solidarity with disabled people.

About Third Cinema Days

Image
Third Cinema Days is a film screening programme for radical cinema, with an interest in radical filmmaking, third cinema, postcolonial film, class struggle, feminism, queer rights, disability rights and anti-imperialism. We are based in Tbilisi, Georgia, using cinema to build solidarity across the region, to contextualise local struggles within a greater network of anti-imperialist movements, and to offer a third space for cultural engagement within a hyper-capitalist landscape of ever-disappearing informal meeting points. Our first edition took place in March 2025, opening with a short by Basma Alsharif, Home Videos Gaza, and the feature documentary No Other Land, by Basel Adra, Rachel Szor, Hamdan Ballal, and Yuval Abraham. Almost each screening was full to the brim, we had audience members spilling out of the auditorium. It was a great success. We went on to curate a special selection for Kutaisi International Short Film Festival . We are working on new programmes for 2026.
