- A letter to our friend behind bars. They all are waiting for “The Camel’s” freedom. This is a journey of a group of people referred to as 'In Bax', and their stories that serve as a sublimation of the “Animal”. As of the year 2022, Bakhala is granted permission to come out of prison on weekends, and must return during the week. He was charged with the voluminous possession of narcotics in 2017. Most people believe the narcotics were planted and that Bakhala was wrongfully convicted and politically incarcerated long term.
- 20 years ago Tornike debuted his first experimental feature, Listen to Chopin - a film letter to their friend Mel Raido / London. In this film Bakhala played one of the leads - ‘The Police Rabbit’, a police officer on a mission - helping friends finding each other. Listen to Chopin was screened at Tbilisi International Film Festival 2002 and received the “Parajanov Prize” for it’s aesthetics. 20 years later, with Bakhala behind bars, Tornike found himself in a situation where he felt he needed to write another letter through film. With the help of his friends, Tornike filmed “In Bax”, a humorous collection of thoughts exposing unjustified incarceration & how one can truly utilize their so-called lost time.
