The anthology „Art Researches“ of the Dimitri-Janelidze Scientific Research Institute at the Georgian State Shota Rustaveli University of Theatre and Film is published annually. The anthology presents the latest research work of the staff of the D. Janelidze Institute.

The fourth volume of the „Art Researches“ presents a broad spectrum of research – just as in the previous three volumes. It contains interesting and important scientific contributions in the fields of art studies, theatre studies, film studies, choreology, art didactics, literary studies, cultural studies. We offer the reader a new section – „From the Archives of Foreign Countries“ on the example of the publication „Documents of Georgian Artists and Scientists from the Collections of the Central State Archives-Museum of Literature and Art of Ukraine as a Historical Source“, which was written especially for the anthology of our research institute „Art Researches“.

The second new section - „New Translations“ - presents the first Georgian translation of one of the earliest writings on the art of dance - it is the work of Lucian of Samosata “The Dance (Of Pantomime)”, which is considered the oldest work in choreology. Just as in the first three volumes of the „Art Researches“ from 2019, 2020, 2021, Volume IV of the „Art Researches“ of the Dimitri – Yanelidze Scientific Research Institute presents the materials (photos, posters, sketches) kept in the holdings of the Theatre and Film Museum, which is integrated into the structure of the Dimitri-Yanelidze Scientific Research Institute at the Georgian State Shota Rustaveli University of Theatre and Film. Most of these materials are being published for the first time.
