Zivile Eteviciute will discuss the thematic narratives of "Time," "The City," and "The Individual" in Soviet-era Lithuanian documentaries and then screen a selection of films. These documentaries portray the stories of everyday people, sometimes through poetic imagery and cryptic language and sometimes through personal observations and struggles. Among the films Eteviciute will discuss are Robertas Verba's "The Old Man and the Soil" (1965), Henrikas Sablevicius's "A Trip across the Meadows of Mist" (1973), and Audrius Stonys's "Earth of the Blind" (1992).

Zivile Eteviciute is the Public Program and Exhibition Curator-Coordinator, National Gallery of ARt, Vilnius, Lithuania. Select exhibitions she has curated include: Cinema Passes through the City: The Stories of Vilnius Cinemas; Vytautas Kairiukstis and Avan-garde Cinema, and Lithuanian Soviet Amateur Films.
