Alexandre Tsutsunava was a Georgian theatre and film director. His film Christine, based on a story by Egnate Ninoshvili, (Georgian: ქრისტინე) was the first Georgian feature film. The Alexandre Tsutsunava Ozurgeti Drama Theatre, inaugurated in 1961 in Georgia, was named after him. In December 2017, the Gosfilmofond of Russia returned the original film Who is Guilty?(1925) to Georgia following a 2014 deal between Russia and Georgia. By 2026, the Georgian National Film Center has fully restored Tsutsunava's films Who Is Guilty? (1925), Two Hunters (1927), and Uprisin in Guria (1929).
