EUROPOS PARKAS. THE BEGINNING

A parallel between the fights for Independence of Lithuania and young artist‘s determination to create Europos Parkas like create Lithuania. The film captures the defense of the Parliament building in Vilnius, storm of TV Tower, the funeral of January 13th victims and other historic moments of Lithuanian nation’s determination as well as creation of the modern art museum from the neglected forest – Gintaras Karosas‘ life-project. The documentary covers more than a quarter-century of storyline and becomes a historic memory, showing a birth and growth of Europos Parkas – one of revived Lithuanian’s identity.
"By recording Lithuanian fights for Independence I couldn’t possibly know the end results. Many times I risked my life when I stepped with camera into the whirlwind of events. It pains me, that young people are leaving Lithuania. It is necessary to work hard here, build a life, endure. The film is about creating Lithuania “ – says Tarvydas.
