Natia Nikolashvili

Natia Nikolakashvili is an animation director and animator. Natia has extensive experience in animation production, working on both commercial short projects and festival animation films.


For three months, Natia will mentor the Animation Directing course. This will be an intensive, student-centered, and practical process, where theoretical components will be combined with personalized feedback, creative freedom, and hands-on tasks that simulate real production workflows.


Drawing from her professional experience, Natia will guide students in developing their own film concepts — helping them think clearly, concisely, and cinematically, from narrative structure and character development to storytelling style and visual presentation. Under her mentorship, students will gain a deep understanding of the directorial approaches essential for preparing a high-quality animated film, culminating in a fully developed, professional-level film pitch/project ready to enter the production phase.
