Review: Courage (2021)
Courage is a foreboding film, especially at the very ending; an excerpt from the re-staged play Discover Love thematizes the events from the late 90s, when a businessman and an opposition leader where kidnapped and executed by the OMON.
‘My Uncle Tudor’, Berlinale review: The illusion of Consent
From the start, Tudor is depicted with a sense of estrangement: through the veil, out of focus, partly hidden behind another person.

Cool Moves: Minotaur (2020)
Minotaur is a film which evacuates your possible knowledge of it. There are moments, places … but where, when, under what circumstance? It’s best not to read anything about this work before watching it.
Review: One Thousand and One Attempts to Be an Ocean (2021)
Wang’s directing, essentially composed of editing short clips together in the rhythmical fashion, is apt for a piece of video-art
Festivals
Review: Limousine (2021)
Saulé Bliuvaité’s short documentary titled Limousine that has just premiered at the national short competition of Vilnius International Film Festival – Kino Pavasaris is an attempt to catch a spirit of limo-riding in a compact, 15-minute format.
GSFF review: Consumed (2020)
Hawken dances around the story with a zest of a boxer that is about to win his title. He is literally in the story, alert, compationate, intimate, and Shauna Macdonald’s performance is dank, sincere and unforgettable.

‘Swamp’ was released on the internet last year in order to compete for the Lithuanian Film Awards (it was nominated in student competition) and it is currently playing at Vilnius International Film Festival – Kino Pavasaris.

Review: Ieva (2021)
Working from Plukas’ austere, but precise script, Vytautas and Petronis are looking for an answer to the eternal science fiction gerne question: can androids gain experiences and forge their own identity and personality?
Review: Interrogation (2021)
The reason why Interrogation stands out, apart from its perfect production design with its knowledge of the given period, is the elegance of its construction and execution.
GSFF review: Burn on Arrival
Set to the sinister score composed by Richard Canavan, the film plays with the steel blue coldness at night and blinding whitness of the snowy landscape in daylight, with Steve Cardno’s photography that expands the feeling of entrapment.
GSFF review: Isle Of Us
One wouldn’t expect to find a Syrian barber on such a tiny island as the Scottish Isle of Bute.

- Review: Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (2020)
The difference between Crip Camp and a regular inspirational documentary is the lack of manipulation and pulling the heart-strings in an obvious, almost exploitative fashion.
