The NVU School of Cinematic Arts and Film Production Studio project aims to establish a state-of-the-art educational and production facility in Tbilisi, Georgia. It will feature modern filming pavilions, classrooms, and studios for hands-on learning in various aspects of film production. The primary objectives include launching the school, fostering industry partnerships, and developing skills programs in Camera Operation, Video Editing, Lighting Design, and Film Production Management. The project will address the workforce deficit in the film industry by providing internationally recognized certifications. Graduates will be well-prepared for employment in the film industry, and the school's focus on hands-on learning and industry involvement will ensure their future employability. The project also encompasses a partnership with the Maharishi International University’s David Lynch School of Cinematic arts and contributes to the growth of Georgia's film industry. The project will involve collaboration with established film production companies in the region to enhance practical teaching and provide equipment. The NVU School of Cinematic Arts aims to put Georgia on the international map of filmmaking countries and foster creativity and employment in the creative industries. The project “NVU School of Cinematic Arts and Film Production Studio” has been made possible with the generous support of the American People.
