Premiera wosko-litewskiego filmu W Wilnie pada

The presentation, moderated by historian Aurimas Švedas explore the archival research and creative process behind the film, the link with Andrea Griffante’s book „Baltic East: Italian views of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, 1918-2018“, and Giedrė Jankevičiūtė’s curatorial choice to include the piece within the exhibition „Vilnius, Wilno, Vilne 1918–1948. One City – Many Stories“. Giorgio Ruggeri’s and Ignė Narbutaitė’s archival documentary short film attempts at reconstructing an audiovisual experience of a city that no longer exists, but that at the same time is still here, almost unchanged in its essence. In this impression-based, multilayered portrait of Vilnius, we observe the city through the perspective of Italian reporters who visited it and wrote about it between 1920 and 1939. The film’s narrative experiment is based on the combination of such texts with another corpus of historical sources – archival footage filmed in Vilnius and its surroundings during the same years by Polish, Lithuanian, Jewish, and German operators. Therefore, it moves on the threshold between documentary and imaginary. Whether all the words and moving images in it are historical records, their assemblage is purely fictional.

Włoskie spojrzenie na przedwojenne Wilno jest tematem włosko-litewskiego krótkometrażowego filmu „W Wilnie pada”. Premiera odbyła się w czwartek w ramach trwającej w Litewskiej Galerii Narodowej wystawy „Wilno, Vilne, Wilna 1918 – 1948”. Jedno miasto, wiele opowieści”. Za inspirację dla autorów filmu posłużyła książka mieszkającego na Litwie Włocha Andrea Griffant’iego „Bałtycki Wschód” poświęcona temu, jak kraje bałtyckie były opisywane w prasie włoskiej. 👇 Pełne wydanie #InfoWilno 👇 🔹„Info Wilno” od poniedziałku do soboty o godz.
