For the first time, Lithuanian writers and filmmakers come together at Sputnik Kinobar to present their own curated evening — a meeting point of contemporary literature and cinema, of text and image, of imagination and translation.

The presentation will be followed by screenings of two short films inspired by Lithuanian short stories: “Paskutinis sniegas” (The Last Snow), dir. Sotera Kupinaitė; 2025, 15 min. „Hablo dėsnis” (Hubble’s Law), dir. Arnas Balčiūnas; 2024, 18 min.

Both films are based on stories by Virginija Kulvinskaitė and Lina Simutytė, whose collections “Keturi / Vier” and “Miesto šventė / Das Stadtfest” were translated into German by Markus Roduner and published by Klak Verlag.

After the screenings, a conversation will unfold — about the exchange between words and moving images, about creative trust and transformation, and about what it means to bring Lithuanian literature into new languages and screens.
