We are joining the international documentary film festival “Nepatogus Kinas” initiative and invite you to watch the festival’s films for children and adults free of charge at the library. Festival films will be available to watch for free from October 8-27 in the 208th room on the computer marked with the festival logo, which has access to the virtual cinema hall. To watch the films, please contact the library staff. You can choose the films you would like to watch on the Nepatogus Kinas website.
“Nepatogus Kinas” is an annual international human rights documentary film festival that has been held since 2007. It is a non-commercial event that aims to create a space for discussions on human rights, politics, social responsibility, and sustainability, as well as to familiarize the public with global issues, encouraging awareness and critical thinking. During the festival, a rich program of documentary films is presented, meetings with filmmakers are held, and discussions with film protagonists, human rights activists, and experts are organized. Some of the festival’s main sponsors include the Lithuanian Film Centre and the city of Vilnius.
“For “Nepatogus Kinas,” we select not only films that have received recognition at the most important European and international film festivals in recent years, but also those that have personally moved and surprised us. That is why we are especially eager to share these films with as wide an audience as possible. Our partnership with Lithuanian libraries allows us to invite every viewer in Lithuania to engage with this cinema, not just those attending the cinemas in major cities. I believe that after this year’s festival, the circle of good documentary film enthusiasts will expand even further,” says Gediminas Andriukaitis, the director of the “Nepatogus Kinas” festival.
From October 8-27, the international festival “Nepatogus Kinas” will invite true story and select documentary film lovers to the screen. The festival will spread across Lithuania, as the films will be available not only on cinema and home screens, but also in almost 300 libraries across the country. The Library and Centre of Scientific Communication are joining this network, offering visitors the chance to watch the festival’s films free of charge.
