It was built in 1924/25 by the wealthy Müller family from Zagreb with a wish to build the most beautiful, important and modern cinema in the region. After years of neglect and troubles over ownership, the City of Zagreb bought the cinema and, in early 2008, the cinema management was trusted to Zagreb Film Festival with the aim of making Kino Europa the regional hub for film and film art. In 2013 Kino Europa became a protected cultural heritage site and a Croatian national treasure. The cinema interior, its opulent stucco decorations and post-Art Nouveau classicist details are among the most magnificent in the city. The cinema premises, located at the very centre of the city, hosts the Large Hall with 500 seats in its auditorium, the Müller Hall with 41 seats, the Cinema Shop and the Cinema Bar, a popular hangout.

Contemporary Catalan cinema resonates significantly with the images being created by artists all over the world. The vitality of the cinema being made here is manifested in the works of upcoming filmmakers who, with their aesthetic and thematic proposals, create cinematographic dialogues with other contemporary filmmakers. These dialogues are based not on similarity, instead contrasting the creative concerns of these artists.

A very special thank you to those artists and institutions who provided materials from their collections. Preface 9 Documentary Cinema: The Flowing River of Time 11 New Lithuanian Feature Films 19 Short Films 25 The Artistic and Stylistic Features of Lithuanian Animation 27 Catalogue 35 Organisations 79 Preface Over the last two decades, Lithuanian cinema has continued to attract international attention. The country’s film industry is regularly represented by the films of Šarūnas Bartas, Arūnas Matelis, Audrius Stonys, Gytis Lukšas and Kristijonas Vildžiūnas. New names are starting to appear alongside these recognised directors, such as Kristina Buožytė and Mantas Kvedaravičius, who have had successful premières at the Berlin International Film Festival and the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. There is also a provocative new generation that is looking for roads that have yet to be travelled, such as Lina Lužytė, Dovilė Šarutytė and Jūratė Samulionytė, who highlight problems concerning the personal and social identity. The well-established tradition of auteur cinema in Lithuania is coming into contact with new stylistic and thematic trends, which we would like to present in this publication. Documentary Cinema: The Flowing River of Time By Živilė Pipinytė Obscure Beginnings Lithuanian cinema is one of the youngest in Europe. Professional national cinematography started relatively late, only in the mid-20th century. Its beginnings are to be found in the stories told by the early filmmakers. One of these legends marks the beginning of documentary cinema.

In the accented cinema, space-time formations are cinematic spatial aspects that are employed to produce or reproduce the fundamental “accent” of displacement and deterritorialisation. According to Naficy, the accent predominantly originates from the filmmakers’ experiences and their artisanal productions and not so much from their accented lingo.
