Other events in Baltic States

20 years passed since Lithuanian film was last shown in one of the most prominent film events, Locarno International Film Festival (Festival del film Locarno), informs LETA/ELTA.

Lithuania will be making a return with the debut film Triuksmadarys by director Karolis Kaupinis, who will participate in the international competitive programme Pardi di Domani. Every year this short and medium-length programme features more than 20 films from all around the world. This year the short film programme includes twenty six films from twenty countries.

Locarno International Film Festival is one of the oldest and most prestigious in Europe. It has dictated the newest trends for 67 years, similarly like other A class festivals, Cannes or Berlinale.

The festival will take place in Locarno, Switzerland on 6-16 August.
