May 9, 2024

The experimental short film "Good Day" transports the audience to one never-ending day of the life of interwar Kaunas, which, like an architectural moment recaptured in time, silently tells about the bygone city full of progress and hope. 24 hours pass in 24 minutes, as if through a keyhole watching and listening to the rhythm of the city boiling around the iconic tower of the Vytautas the Great War Museum. With the help of a physical newspaper specially created for the film, viewers have the opportunity to calmly explore one golden day of the first Republic of Lithuania and evaluate it in the context of today's stormy times.
