Award-winning late film director Zaza Urushadze was remembered in Washington, DC on Thursday where the latest edition of Georgian Embassy Movie Series events screened his 2009 feature Three Houses.

 

The series' final screening of the year marked the legacy of the Georgian cinema professional, who died unexpectedly at the age of 53 earlier this month, with the film that cast a selection of Georgian actors in a generational drama.

 

The feature was introduced to an audience by Embassy Public Affairs Counselor Sofia Gegechkori, who also spoke about Urushadze's work in cinema, which has been distinguished with festival prizes, an Academy Awards nomination and a membership at the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

 

Screened at the 32nd Festival of World Cinema in Montreal, Three Houses follows characters in three separate stories from the 19th century, World War II years and contemporary times.
