The library launches a new project "Sengirės Kinas" (The Old Man's Cinema), combining cinema and environmental protection, with the film "Sengirės" (The Old Man's Cinema).
“Sengirės Kinas” is a new project combining cinema and education on the topic of ecology, inspired by the impact of Mindaugas Survila’s film “Sengirė” on the protection of Lithuania’s old-growth forests. The documentary poem, beloved by viewers, showed that cinema can become a powerful tool for awakening curiosity and respect for nature, from which real changes begin. Thanks to the film and the “Sengirės Fondo”, the word sengirė today means not only the most valuable type of forest – it has become a synonym for good cinema, nature knowledge and conservation.
Responsibly bearing this name, “Sengirės Kinas” will light up the screens of libraries in Lithuanian cities and towns at the same time every month, inviting viewers to pay attention to nature. Carefully selected films from all over the world that reveal the magnificence and fragility of nature will be shown together with presentations by naturalists who will actualize them in the Lithuanian context. The film program will be accompanied by live meetings, discussions, excursions and other events that draw attention to the state of Lithuania’s ecology. “Sengirės Kinas” is a platform where cinema becomes a tool for change, and viewers – a community of change.
