The Lithuanian Film Center will present five classics of Lithuanian cinema in the Locarno Film Festival’s online screening room as part of Heritage Online, the festival’s recently launched, first-of-its-kind platform that will serve as a database of films that premiered prior to 2005.
A highlight will be “The Girl and the Echo,” by Arūnas Žebriūnas, which won the Silver Sail when it screened in Locarno in 1965 and will be launched in French cinemas this autumn, along with a DVD release.
The re-introduction of these classic films to the movie-going public is part of an ongoing effort by the Lithuanian Film Center to bring its rich cinematic heritage back into the public eye, said Dovilė Butnoriūtė, the head of the center’s Department of Film Promotion, Information and Heritage.
The center has compiled a catalog of nearly two dozen digitized and restored classics that are available in Dcp format for prospective buyers.
