Nikoloz Shengelaia

Nikoloz Shengelaia, born in Obuji in 1903, began as a poet in the Georgian futurist group, entered cinema as an assistant and made his first film at the age of twenty-four. His way of editing earned him the charge of formalism, which could then cost a career. He married the actress Nato Vachnadze, and their two sons, Eldar and Giorgi, in turn became filmmakers. He died in Tbilisi on 4 January 1943, aged thirty-nine.
