Sandro Souladze

Biography:

Director, writer and producer Sandro Souladze was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1988, to Giorge Souladze, a film director and editor, and Dinara Maglakelidze, a film scientist. This fact determined his love and interest to cinema from the early childhood. Just before he turned 10, he moved to Berlin with his mother, where he lived out his teenage years. Berlin quickly became his city and soon began to shape Souladze's future and also his passion for German expressionism, what was soon reflected in his first short experimental film The Violinist. At 23, Souladze applied to Shota Rustaveli Film and Theater Georgia State University and was readily accepted. There he got his master degree in filmmaking. In his university years, Sandro made three shorts - The Violinist, The Black Goo and Tuta.
