Career

Salome Demuria launched her screen career in 2012 with dual debuts: as Ahysa in Miguel Ángel Jiménez’s Chaika, earning the Titano d’Oro at San Marino International Film Festival, and as The Woman in Shamil Aliyev’s Steppe Man.

These roles showcased her quiet intensity, drawing from personal experiences of displacement. She followed with Marie in Vano Burduli’s The Summer of Frozen Fountains (2015), a mosaic of Tbilisi lives that premiered at prestigious festivals.

Her breakthrough arrived in 2016 as Ira in Rusudan Glurjidze’s House of Others, a haunting post-war tale that won her the Golden Arena for Best Acting at Pula Film Festival. Demuria’s pinnacle came in Dito Tsintsadze’s Inhale-Exhale (2019), portraying a woman rebuilding after prison—mirroring her own refugee past—sweeping Best Actress honors at Shanghai, Almaty, and Minsk festivals, plus a Berlinale nomination. She served on the Georgia Film Academy board from 2013, advocating for emerging talent.

Salome Demuria earned the European Shooting Stars award at the 2024 Berlinale for her lead as Medea in Rusudan Glurjidze’s The Antique, a multinational co-production exploring grief and antiquity.
