7 sins
Sound Recordist
In "7 Sins" Inčiūraitė asks seven sportswomen living in seven different Lithuanian cities to speak about their opinions on the seven deadly sins – sloth, pride, wrath, gluttony, lust, envy, and greed – from a contemporary perspective. The sportswomen chosen for this film compete in one-on-one sports, a metaphorical duality which expresses the two sides of the women’s identity – the dark and the light. This film is a visualisation of human duality, of the internal personal struggle, constant in both art and life. The documentary paints a portrait of each woman as a contemporary heroine fighting against adversity while at the same time tenaciously working towards their dreams and personal legends.
Vulkanovka. After the Great Cinema
Sound Director
Vulkanovka is a poor village in Crimean steppe, as local people say, forgotten by God and by people. Nonetheless that place came very much alive when famous Lithuanian film director Sharunas Bartas crew stayed here for almost two years filming Seven Invisible Men. Most of local people helped filmmakers a good deal. But the Grand Cinema left and probably won’t come back. So the life of Vulkanovka returned to its usual routine. But it’s not for everyone. Film director Giedre Beinoriute with her crew came to Vulkanovka nine months later. In her documentary people speak about their “cinematographic” experience with great enthusiasm. They tell about how it was and how it was different from their earlier understanding about filmmaking. Different moods and people’s openness in the film are interwoven into daily life of Vulkanovka with its rituals of caws’ feeding, shopping in the only shop “Produkty”, collecting metal and other.

Time Walks Through the City
Music
The main hero of this film is the city of Vilnius. Vilnius is also a metaphor for the historicity of Lithuania. However, this film is unique not only for its cinematographic historical reflections on the statehood of Lithuania; it also reveals the history of cinema, encompassing both Russian (Soviet) montage techniques and the first traces of cinéma-vérité in Lithuanian cinema.
Nobody Wanted to Die
Music
The film is set in Lithuania after the Second World War. It shows dramatic events in a small Lithuanian farming community, where people are split between the Soviets and the "brothers in the woods", who are fighting to defend their land from the Soviets after the end of the Second World War.
