In its constant quest for the most outstanding emerging filmmakers from little exposed cinema cultures in the UK, Land in Focus now reveals to London audiences the captivating films by a new generation of women filmmakers in Lithuania.

The film programme will comprise six truly distinctive short films, ranging from documentary to animation, from video art to a more traditional storytelling, each of them executed with a very personal and cutting-edge style.

In order to explore the emerging women-led film scene in the country, a panel discussion with three of the directors will take place after the screening of the films. Simona Žemaitytė, Aušra Linkevičiūtė and Dovilė Šarutytė will address the current situation and trends of the Lithuanian film scene whilst sharing their own personal experiences as young film professionals.

The panel discussion will be moderated by writer, researcher and film programmer Daniel Bird, lecturer on Russian and Eastern European Film at Sheffield University.
