Shot in and around Canning Town, this new film is about how regeneration is completely changing the area. Local ex-boxer and actor Jimmy Flint revisits places from his youth and asks people who live and work in Canning Town what has been gained and what has been lost.

"The film is refreshing and honest and nostalgic and whimsical and at times frightening too. There are no gimmicks, just truth, and I think it is special. It's shot in a simple style. It has a video diary feel to it." (Matt Lucas)

Rural couple Maya and Dato, both in their 30s, visit a shopping centre to buy a mattress. They lose each other, perhaps not fully by accident, and each of them experiences a brief romantic encounter. Is this a dream or reality?

"Among the stronger segments [of "Tbilisi I Love You"] is the strikingly shot and assembled "Guest", in which vet actress Marina Kartsivadze narrates directly to the camera the surprising tale of her one-night stand with a visiting political figure in 1963; back then, she was the first female engine driver on the Tbilisi underground, and a very pretty one at that. Helmer Alexander Kviria spices the visuals with gorgeous black-and-white period footage from the Georgian Film Archive."

The village of Gorelovka is located in Southern Georgia. Doukhobors (Spirit-wrestlers), a group of Russian religious dissidents, founded it in the mid 19th century. Because of their anarchist and pacifist beliefs, the Doukhobors were banished from Russia by Tsar Nicholas I. They managed to keep their identity and traditions throughout the Soviet period. However, under political and economical pressure, many Doukhobors have now left Georgia and their heritage is disappearing with the last inhabitants.
