About Shalva Gambashidze
Shalva Gambashidze was a Soviet Georgian actor who appeared during the early sound era of Soviet cinema. His career was notably brief, with his only known film credit being in the 1931 production 'Out of the Way!' (original Georgian title likely 'გამზრდელი' or similar). This film was produced during a transformative period in Georgian cinema when the Soviet film industry was establishing itself in the region. Gambashidze's appearance in this film places him among the pioneering generation of Georgian actors working in the new medium of sound cinema. Unfortunately, like many actors from this period in Soviet cinema, detailed records of his life and career are scarce, and he appears to have had a very limited filmography that consisted of this single known appearance.
