Big celebrations for Lithuanian cinema! Our beloved director Vytautas Katkus has won Best Director at the 59th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, taking home the Crystal Globe for his debut feature THE VISITOR!!! 🍦🍦🍦
The jury was full of praise, calling Katkus’ work a bold and deeply personal artistic statement:
Katkus truly exploits the creative freedom that a director perhaps only ever properly enjoys with their first film, displaying an uncompromised, idiosyncratic vision that is both dazzlingly precise in its detail and dreamily peculiar as a whole.
