This is the second visit of the "Abandoned Village" to Japan.

On November 23, at the Hokkaido International Animated Film Festival NEW CHITOSE, the film won an award from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and received such an assessment: “It is an interesting film, you can not understand in what period of time the action takes place. For example, it could be a one-week or a 200-year period. This is the director's debut work. She is an actress of "Budurgana Gagra" (www.budurgana.ge) Georgian State Hand Shadow Theater. "

"Abandoned Village" is the debut-animation film directed by Mariam Kapanadze, which was created at film studio "Kvali XXI" (https://www.facebook.com/Film-Studio-KVALI-XXI-192774534600815) and the film center "Georgian Film-Abkhazeti" (https://www.facebook.com/GeorgianfilmcenterABKHAZETI).The film was funded by Georgian National Film Center (http://beta.gnfc.ge/?fbclid=IwAR04HqbeuIb6vIBR9VvM5jUe6Vtr_BqOYKPeANWUjBJ_HxrdtwFqU1U7Rkg).

After the successful world premiere in Japan, the Georgian animation film was invited to the famous international animation festival "ANIMATEKA" in Ljubljana, Slovenia and now the film is again hosted by Japan.
