A Tribute to producer Sasha Klein.

Writer, painter, sculptor, film and theatre director and puppeteer Rezo Gabriadze is one of Georgia’s most creative and cherished artists. Using his father’s words and drawings, son Leo Gabriadze brings the great master’s memoir to life in this delicate and profound animated film.

Far from conventional autobiography, Rezo unfolds like a fever dream, a childhood tale that borrows from magic realism and political satire in equal measure. This passionate and charming storyteller uses his animated imagery to pull us into his highly personal vision of the world.
