Move over, Hollywood – In the Name of Blood, a gripping thriller co-produced across France, Belgium, and Austria, is turning heads at international film festivals! Directed by Akaki Popkhadze, this adrenaline-packed project snagged a spot in the 15th Beijing International Film Festival's 'Forward Future' section and earned a New Directors Award nod at Spain’s 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival.

One industry insider at Beijing’s festival called it "a masterclass in tension-building" – perfect for Gen Z viewers craving fresh international stories .
This cinematic cocktail of European funding and Georgian directorial vision (shoutout to Popkhadze’s rising star status ) proves global storytelling is thriving. Film buffs, mark your calendars – this might be your next obsession!
