Gamodi is a Canadian-Georgian science fiction film, directed by Felix Kalmenson and released in 2023.[1] Set during the COVID-19 pandemic, the film stars Matt Shally and Maqzime Rauch as Viktor and Tarzan, a drag queen and a teenage drifter in Tbilisi who, with nowhere to self-isolate during COVID lockdowns, squat together in an abandoned tower block which increasingly resembles a purgatory between life and death.[2]
The film premiered in the Panorama program at the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival,[1] where it received an honorable mention from the Best Canadian Film award jury.[3] It was also subsequently screened in the National Competition lineup at the 2023 Festival du nouveau cinéma.[2]
