The Idylls of Kirtimai

Artūras Jevdokimovas / Lithuania / 1991 / Czech Premiere / 13 min.


synopsis

An observational anthropological study follows the life of the residents of the largest Roma settlement in Lithuania. Instead of the usual tendency to draw attention to their poverty, lack of education, and discrimination, the film focuses primarily on an ideologically unencumbered representation of everyday patterns of life.

biography

Lithuanian director, screenwriter, actor, and producer Artūras Jevdokimovas (1966) takes inspiration from the work of Jonas Mekas. He is currently the director of the Tinklai international short film festival.
