The conference “Meeting Point Vilnius” is one of those de- velopment opportunities for the Lithuanian film industry and for Lithuanian culture as a whole. It is my sincere hope that this conference will continue to enable cultural and audiovisual professionals to operate transnationally, to further promote the cross-border cir- culation of cultural and creative works, safeguard cultural and linguistic diversity and, as a result, will strengthen policy cooperation fostering innovation, audience build- ing and new business models. First and above all culture has an intrinsic value as a public good. It is also important for the social cohesion of our societies. In addition, research clearly shows the strong growth potential of the cultural and creative sectors. The cultural and creative sectors play a major role in Europe’s economy. They account for up to 4.5% of EU GDP and more than 8 mil- lion jobs. In these challenging times we need to target our investment to sustain and grow this contribu- tion to our economies. Investment in film will do that by helping to overcome the barriers and driving creative development, innovation and social inclusion. Today you will open a new page for cooperation with neighbouring countries, which will fa- cilitate the circulation of films of our countries worldwide, and it is a very important initiative. I wish you pleasant days and inspiring moments in Vilnius. Šarūnas Birutis, Minister of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania 5 On behalf of the Lithuanian Film Centre, I would like to welcome the participants of the “Meeting Point – Vil- nius”. With the domestic films receiving ever more attention in Lithuania it is a good time to talk about audience. Topics and issues that are going to be discussed by recognised international experts are familiar to both small and big markets. I believe that professionals from different countries will find a lot to talk about during these few days in our city. The industry event is a result of cooperation of many national and international organisations. In this context, I am really glad to welcome the cooperation with the MAIA Workshop. I am sure that the 2014 edition of the “Meeting Point – Vilnius” will be an inspiring journey through the chal- lenging world of film marketing and audience develo- pment. Rolandas Kvietkauskas, Director of the Lithuanian Film Centre 6 Dear industry guests, International industry event “Meeting point – Vilnius” welcomes you for the fifth time! Consider us as a one- stop shop for everything you need to know about Baltic film industry. Just in three days you will be able to see the newest or soon be ready films from the Baltics, visit some stunning locations of Lithuania, open the largest soundproof filming studio in the Baltic states, meet the enthusiastic filmmakers from the region, network with the most important industry professionals and feel the vibe of the biggest and oldest film festival in Lithuania. Having talked with the producers from the region, we have realized, that film marketing as well as audience building remain one of the challenges in modern film- making, therefore we have invited acclaimed film pro- fessionals to share their knowledge and carry on master classes for a better understanding how to promote a film. Those of you who have been here already know that we will do all our best to make sure your visit in Vilnius is just perfect. And those, who are visiting for the first time, just embrace your- selves and enjoy what is called Lithuanian hospitality.

Ko vertas kūrėjo žodis. Šios knygos, kaip ir panašių į ją ankstesniųjų, herojai, - ne tik skirtingų likimų, bet neretai ir įsitikinimų žmonės. O jungia juos talento mįslė. Ir tuos, kurių jau nebėra, kurių laikas Žemėje perkopė šimtmetį ar yra netoli šios apvalios datos, ir tuos, ku- rie neseniai pradėjo savo kūrybinį kelią, tačiau jau spėjo būti įvertinti aukščiausia praba. Dar trys dešimtys asmenybių apsigyveno po vienu stogu. Žinoma, toji kaimynystė sąlygina. Tačiau yra ir tai, kas ne lai- kina, kas nėra atsitiktinumas. Visų šių menininkų kūriniuose skaitytojas ne sykį yra užtikęs žodžių, kurie neišduos. Na, o jei tai muzikinis kūrinys ar piešinys? Tai tinka ir jiems, tik šiuo at- veju žodį keičia kiek kitokio pobūdžio tiesa. Tačiau tokia, kokia neabejojama. Nors vienas šios knygos herojų teigia, kad XXI amžiuje rašytojas jau nebegali būti tautos ar visuomenės šaukliu, turiu viltį, jog kaip tik rašytojams lemta šį pasaulį pakeisti iš esmės. 6 I. Ese 7 I.

  • Lituanien Rétrospective 15-28 Janvier
    LE MYSTERE CLOUZOT LE MYSTERE PROGRAMMATION CINÉMA LITUANIEN RÉTROSPECTIVE 15-28 JANVIER Summer53 The Balcony DE LÀ, DE LITUANIE, D’AILLEURS Histoire et panorama de la cinématographie lituanienne, production surpre- nante et mal connue, sauf jusqu’à présent par deux grandes figures du cinéma moderne et contemporain : Sharunas Bartas (avant-première de Frost) et Jonas Mekas, tous deux présents à la Cinémathèque à l’occasion de cette rétrospective. Au début, tout a semblé se dérouler « normalement » en Lituanie : le 3 juillet 1897, l’invention des frères Lumière se trouve à Vilnius (alors dans l’Empire russe) pour une projection. Mais la trajectoire ne sera pas du tout rectiligne, loin de là. La jeune nation lituanienne de l’entre-deux-guerres (1918-1940) ne vit pas se former une industrie, qui s’ébauchera seulement après-guerre, sous tutelle soviétique. Dans un premier temps, le « Studio de cinéma lituanien » consiste avant tout à produire, comme ailleurs en URSS stalinienne, un réalisme socialiste plus ou moins coloré localement. Il existe toutefois un cinéma lituanien bien avant la proclamation de l’indépendance, le 11 mars 1990 – le frondeur État balte étant la toute première des républiques d’Union soviétique à s’affranchir de la tutelle de Moscou. UN EXILÉ Il est tentant de partir de cette contradiction : le cinéma lituanien a pour plus grand représentant et doyen la figure centrale de l’underground américain. Jonas Mekas acheta « sa » Bolex une semaine après avoir débarqué à New York en 1949, nais- sant alors au cinéma après être né en Lituanie en 1922, et traversé les tourments de l’Histoire, avant l’exil.

  • Sajūdis and the Lithuanian Catholic Church Miranda Zapor Cruz, Ph.D
    ABSTRACT It’s Our Country and It’s Our Cathedral: Sajūdis and the Lithuanian Catholic Church Miranda Zapor Cruz, Ph.D. Mentor: B. Michael Long, Ph.D. Lietuvos Persitvarkymo Sąjūdis, ‘Lithuanian Movement for Perestroika’, was the popular nationalist movement that led Lithuania toward independence from the Soviet Union on 11 March 1990. In order to gain the Lithuanian people’s support, Sajūdis capitalized on the historically close bond between Catholicism and national identity. This dissertation will examine the relationship between Sajūdis and the Lithuanian Catholic Church (LCC), which will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of Lithuanian history and the importance of religious nationalism for Lithuania’s popular independence movement. This dissertation argues that the relationship between Sajūdis and the Lithuanian Catholic Church was essential, intentional, and mutually beneficial. Sajūdis’ relationship with the LCC was essential for the movement’s success. Although there were several cultural and historical aspects of Lithuanian national identity that might have served as foundations for the independence movement, the Catholic Church was deeply connected to Lithuanian nationalism and had greater mass appeal and trust than any other source of national identity. Moreover, as a sacred institution, the LCC had the ability to legitimate Sajūdis and motivate Lithuanians to support the independence movement. Both Sajūdis and the LCC intentionally forged their relationship by courting the other’s support and involvement. Sajūdis courted the LCC’s support by recruiting priests and giving them prominent roles at rallies and other events, and by incorporating into its political agenda the LCC’s concerns, including religious freedom and property. The LCC demonstrated its support for Sajūdis through participation in the movement’s events and promotion of its political ideals.
