A Letter of Gratitude

We received a letter of gratitude from the Department of Prisoners’ Resocialization and Rehabilitation. We sincerely thank them for their support and partnership.

Event held within the framework of the festival:

Based on the 6th Tbilisi International Internet Festival “Diogene 2025,” a project was created for juveniles in the penitentiary system — in the form of an educational-lecture course, a workshop, and a film retrospective.

Five Georgian film professionals participated in the project: Levan Anjaparidze (film director, screenwriter, producer, partner of the Diogene Film Festival, member of the working and creative group), Manana Lekborashvili (professor, film scholar, film critic, partner of the Diogene Film Festival, member of the working and creative group), Keti Pataraia (screenwriter, writer), Merab Chkhaidze (film director, writer, laureate of the Diogene Film Festival), and Ani Mamaishvili (documentary filmmaker, graduate of the creative workshop of Vazha Zubashvili, laureate of the Diogene Film Festival).

On behalf of the festival, we express our heartfelt gratitude to them for their support and the humanitarian contribution they made to the festival’s activities.

Our deepest gratitude to the Special Penitentiary Service, Juvenile Penitentiary Facility No. 11, Ms. Inga Sarjvelidze, and Ms. Natalia Zakareishvili.
