Mini series filmed in Lithuania nominated for Emmy
Filmed in Lithuania by a crew from Canada, Japan and the Netherlands, Tokyo
Trial this year competes with another three series developed by Brazil, France
and Great Britain. The official awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in
New York on Monday.
The series was created by directors Pieter
Verhoeff and Rob W. King, with shooting and other work in Lithuania
organized by a Lithuanian company, Artbox.
Producer Kestutis Drazdauskas told
BNS that entire series had been filmed in Lithuania, with the exception of a
few minor episodes.
"There were many decorations, as the drama is staged in Tokyo in 1946:
we were filming in pavilions in Vilnius, the Vilnius University's Botanical
Garden, the Ciurlionis Museum in Kaunas and a few other locations, including
Didziasalis. We needed views of Tokyo after bombardment: in Didziasalis we
found a derelict factory, added our elements and brought ancient
equipment," he said.
In Drazdauskas' words, the story tells about a War Tribunal established in
the capital of Japan after World War II – a Japanese version of the Nuremberg
Tribunal.
The series premiered on the Netflix online television last year. A month
ago, a Dutch production of a film was presented. The film features a number of
Lithuanian actors, including Kestutis
Jakstas and Gabija Jaraminaite.
