Georgia

An ancient country rich with diverse locations – from ancient castles and fortifications to Soviet era architecture and modern European streets.

Filming in Georgia

Georgia is located between Europe and Asia and overlooks the eastern coast of the Black Sea with the Caucasus mountains rising dramatically to the north. It is generally 2-3 hours flying time from Central Europe. 

The country’s small size enables filming to take place within an hour’s drive of major cities. Despite its size, Georgia has diverse climate zones that range from snowy mountain peaks to subtropical forests, deep canyons, seaside resorts and desert-like vistas. This ancient country is rich with diverse locations. From ancient castles and fortifications to Soviet era architecture and modern European streets.

Georgia’s history of film production reaches back well over 100 years. Today, the tradition continues with a pool of talented crew, multilingual crew, a rich variety of cast and a good selection of production equipment.

Climate

The climate of Georgia is remarkably varied for such a small country. It is mild and rainy on the coast and on the western plain, more continental and arid in the central and eastern inland areas while much cooler in the mountains. 

In the west most rain occurs during the spring and summer while in the east rains usually occur during mid to late spring. Average summer temperatures range from 24 degrees in many regions down to 5 degrees in the mountain areas.
