International panorama: Protest

When people are cornered, they start to protest both in their personal space and on the streets. A son’s protest against his mother, a little girl’s opposition to war, a policeman’s empathy in an emergency. This programme reveals people’s determination to fight for their values.

This programme was screened at the Vilnius International Short Film Festival in 2023. It was curated by the 'Young Programmers,' a group of senior high school students interested in cinema. Under the guidance of professional film curators, educators, historians, communication specialists, and others, they select films that are relevant to their interests, design and present film programmes for cinemas, festivals, and open spaces, as well as handle the publicity associated with these programmes. 'Young Programmers’ is inspired by the international project Moving Cinema.
