Medea Tchelidze Biography
Medea Tchelidze is a Georgian filmmaker who majored in International Relations with a concentration on East Asia, focusing on South Korea. Having achieved a high proficiency in the Korean language and studied its history extensively, Medea has always been fascinated by Korean culture.

There, she completed an intensive filmmaking course and shot her first short film in Tbilisi, featuring Korean actors and the Korean language. Medea's work blends Eastern cultural influences with the local flavor of Georgia, creating a unique cinematic experience that reflects both the fusion of cultures and the universal power of storytelling. Her recent short film In A Week was featured in South Korea’s official Culture, Sports, and Tourism media platform, Honorary Reporters Korea, which published an article and interview about her and the project.
