In memoriam to Romas Juškelis who lived and created freely 2016-07-14
“He does not strive for glory and lives in his own rhythm”, the colleague Alvydas Vaitkevičius told about Kaunas photographer Romas Juškelis (1946–2016) about ten years ago. As the author visited R. Juškelis’ studio last summer, it seemed that the flow of work and life was similarly independent and would never change. Now, a year after this meeting, we speak about the photographer in the past tense already.

After the 21st Vilnius international film festival Film Spring's wave of growing film fans died down and the horizon, for the ninth time, showed the approaching Silver Cranes I thought we should have a conversation on the topic of Lithuanian cinema.

Lina Kaminskaitė-Jančorienė is a lecturer at Vilnius University Faculty of History.

We need the show, like we need films - as it was announced by the Film Spring, the spring of emotions - that provide us with new, well and less known experiences and feelings and give us the opportunity to voyeuristically and also culturally look at other people's lives and maybe even become them for a second.
