Gamodi is a Canadian-Georgian science fiction film, directed by Felix Kalmenson and released in 2023. 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.
The film premiered in the Panorama program at the 2023 Vancouver International Film Festival, where it received an honorable mention from the Best Canadian Film award jury. It was also subsequently screened in the National Competition lineup at the 2023 Festival du nouveau cinéma.
