About

Lithuania's biggest film festival fills Vilnius cinemas for two March weeks with festival hits, premieres and Q&As, the highlight of the city's film calendar.

Highlights

  • The largest film festival in Lithuania by both films shown and audience.
  • Festival-circuit hits and premieres, many with English subtitles.
  • Director and actor Q&As around the headline screenings.

Practical tips

  • Buy a multi-screening pass if you plan to catch several films.
  • Most international films screen in original language with subtitles.
  • Popular premieres sell out fast, so book the moment tickets drop.
