When speaking of the art, it is impossible to miss Batumi International Art House Film Festival which was founded in 2006 and since then, has been opening its doors to the artists and art enthusiasts every autumn. The focus of this festival is art house and independent film, enabling Georgian cinema artists to meet famous directors, producers, film critics and share their experience.

Cinephiles take just as much interest in the festival as artists themselves because the event offers screenings of those newly released films that feature in world theatres. Seminars and workshops are inseparable part of BIAFF festival where Georgian and foreign professionals hold their masterclasses and discussions.
