Nana Jordschadze ( Georgian ნანა ჯორჯაძე ; Russian Нана Гивиевна Джорджадзе ; born August 24, 1948 in Tbilisi ) is a Georgian screenwriter and film director. Today she lives in Berlin and mostly films in Georgia.

Life

From 1968 to 1973 she studied design and architecture at the Tbilisi Art Academy. During the Prague Spring in 1968 she visited the Czechoslovak capital, was therefore suspected of supporting reform communist ideas and was not allowed to leave the Soviet Union for 18 years.

From 1974 to 1980 she studied with Tengis Abuladze and Irakli Kwirikadze at the Tbilisi Film and Theater School. Her diploma film Die Reise nach Sopot (1980) about two outsiders was banned by the Soviet censors for seven years . In 1987 it premiered at the Oberhausen Film Festival, where it won the Grand Prix. In 1986, she made her first feature film, Robinsonade, or my English grandfather , who critically deals with Georgian history. The censors did not want to approve him either, and required extensive cuts. It was only by chance that he got into the Cannes Film Festival , where he won the Golden Camera in 1987 .

From 1985 to 1991, Jordschadze taught directing at the Georgian Film School in Tbilisi. In 1991 she moved to Moscow , where she worked until 1995 as a professor of film directing at the Gerasimov Institute for Cinematography in Moscow. At the end of the 1990s she went to Germany and settled in Berlin. Since then she has been working in Georgia and Berlin. Her film 1001 Recipes from a Cook in Love was nominated for an Oscar in 1997 for best non-English language film . 27 Missing Kisses was awarded as the best European feature film at the 2001 Brussels Film Festival .

Jordschadze was a member of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival (1992), the Venice Film Festival (1997) and in Berlin (1998).

In 2017 she was accepted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which awards the Oscars every year.

She is married to the director professor Irakli Kvirikadze , who wrote the script for five of her eleven films.
