Kaunas International Film Festival

In the evening of October 9, Kaunas International Film Festival presented films, made in Bela Tarr two-day master classes at café “Suflerio būdelė, The 5th Kaunas International Film Festival and “MEDIA Desk Lithuania” arranged an event and invited 6 young film makers by giving them an exclusive opportunity to create with a legendary Hungarian director Bela Tarr. Film professionals were able to develop their knowledge of how modern technologies influence filmmaking. Each participant launched into cinematic wandering with a camera round Kaunas bus station and made a short film.

Participants of master classes: directors Audrius Mickevičius, Aušra Linkevičiūtėand Lina Lužytė, a student of screenplay writing Gailė Garnelytė, a young cinematic artist Vytautas Tinteris and Audrius Antanavičius, a student of direction. Bela Tarr avoids the name “master” and states that they have worked together as partners. Bela Tarr since last autumn had an idea of coming back to Kaunas with a camera someday, so this journey round Lithuania's temporary capital was a unique experience for participants but for the director as well.
