LT KINO 2026: SHORTS - COME CLOSER
LT | 2026 | Kurzfilm | R: various
Taking its name from this year’s festival theme, COME CLOSER is a special programme of six acclaimed Lithuanian short films that have gained recognition at major international film festivals since 2019, including Cannes, Berlinale, Venice, Annecy, Warsaw, goEast, Saguenay and Palm Springs ShortFest.
The selection offers a closer look at a remarkable period for Lithuanian short cinema, tracing the emergence of a new generation of filmmakers and the growing international presence of their work. From early appearances at major festivals to regular selections in international competitions, these six films reflect how far Lithuanian cinema has come in just a few years.
