The Alexandre Tsutsunava Ozurgeti Drama Theatre, inaugurated in 1961 in Georgia, was named after him.[4] In December 2017, the Gosfilmofond of Russia returned the original film Who is the Guilty? to Georgia following a 2014 deal between Russia and Georgia.[5] In 2021, the Georgian National Film Center had fully restored Tsutsunava's film Revolt in Guria (1928).[6]
