The film is a Polish-Irish co-production which follows the same 11 minutes in the lives of a host of different characters from all walks of life.
A selection of 27 films made in recent years is in the programme of the week-long event. It also includes a retrospective of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s output.
The festival’s special guest is Michał Lorenc, a highly-acclaimed composer of film music who has contributed soundtracks to 175 Polish and foreign productions.
In addition to Vilnius, Polish films are also being shown to audiences in Kaunas, Klaipeda and several smaller localities. (mk/ rg)
