problems which expressed elementary critical attitude towards the existing reality. Besides these ideological limits they began to sound a film causing esthetic changes in connection with it. Because the above-mentioned reasons the Georgian film somehow lost its national feature. In the 30-yrs the remarkable producers of the mute film continued their working, they are: Nicoloz Shengelaia, Mikheil Chiaureli, Leo Esakia and others. Though beside them there appeared the producers of a new generation: David Romdeli, Alexandre Takaishvili, Diomide Antadze and Konstantine Pipinashvili. In the cinematography they tried to create a new simulating reality with its enthusiasm, themes and problems. In the conditions of censorship, monotony, common production some of them still try even a little bit, to express their own, different attitude towards the existing reality, research new means and forms of narration in cinematography with somehow getting rid of stereotype blochs. Hence, the main aim of the very theme is to review the basic tendencies of reality under total regime conditions, the machinery and the peculiarities of creating the Soviet myths.
