FeKKstival: Vilnius ISFF
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.
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. Lithuanian panorama The programme consists of five recent successful Lithuanian short films: three fiction films and two animated. They travelled to festivals and won many prizes internationally and locally. You will be able to observe post-apocalyptic life in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, and have a glimpse at patriarchy in community gardens and matriarchy at the beautiful Lithuanian seaside. You will get to know a rebellious teenager who dreams about raving in Berlin and dive into the surreal existentialistic world of a Juggler. The protagonists of each film of this programme are fighting for something they deeply care about.
