Rezo is a 2018 Russian animated semi-autobiographical film directed by Leo Gabriadze based on the memories and illustrations of his father, theatre and film director, writer and artist Rezo Gabriadze. Produced by the Bazelevs Company with the support of the Russian Ministry of Culture, the film had its world premiere on 23 April 2018 in the showroom and cinema halls of the GUM. The film won Best Animated Feature Film at the 12th Asia Pacific Screen Awards.

Production

The idea for the film was conceived by Rezo in the early 1990s. Rezo made sketches of the characters, and Leo recorded the stories told by his father. They returned to the idea when Levan was already working as a director at the Bazelevs Company alongside his father. Together, with the editor Maria Likhacheva, they stitched together a complete story from the recordings.

The film is made in a mixed technique of hand-drawn animation and computer animation, where the character was divided into parts and the movements were shot frame by frame, transferring parts of the body using video cuts with Rezo Gabriadze.
