This year’s special programme European Stories presents four fiction films by up-and-coming European filmmakers that boldly yet subtly reflect on themes of childhood, independence, family relationships, and inner freedom. Set in different corners of Europe, the stories reveal first encounters with the complex world of adults. While the films differ in style and narrative pace, they are all united by particular attention to the inner worlds of protagonists as well as distinctive auteur voice of the filmmakers and convincing acting even from the youngest of actors.
The productions were funded by the EU Creative Europe MEDIA programme. European Stories is presented by the Creative Europe Desk Lithuania MEDIA Office. The screening is free of charge. During the festival, the programme will also be available on LRT Epika.
