AFI EUROPEAN UNION FILM SHOWCASE 2010: LITHUANIA REPRESENTED BY GYTIS LUKŠAS FILM „VORTEX“
Updated 2010-10-20
AFI presents the 23rd annual AFI European Union Film Showcase, a selection of top films from EU member states, including film festival award winners, box office hits and US premieres. This year Lithuania is proudly represented by Gytis Lukšas film “Vortex”. “Vortex” is the film about the man who was broken by the Soviet gloom and whose life stayed unnoticed. This life story is divided into three parts: painful childhood experience, juvenescence, marked by tragic loss of the best friend and short life of the adult, ending without any support in the vacuity of the Soviet period.
The story of the whole Soviet period generation is told through the main character: childhood spent in a village, true friendship, work in Soviet Klaipeda, thrilling eroticism and the fatal love – everything is so simple and so sorely real.
