Head of Industry Alessandra Pastore summed up her experience of this year’s edition: “Last year, we were the first industry event to be cancelled due to COVID. For this year, we wanted to turn the weaknesses that Covid is bringing us into opportunities: we enlarged the number of projects and countries represented, we invited a higher number of professionals with a higher level of exposure for the filmmakers. For the first time, people who usually were not able to come to Vilnius had the possibility to participate, to virtually explore the city and to discover new voices from Eastern Europe. This resulted in a larger audience of decision makers to create connections with.”

The jury, comprising Karen Park, programmer for the Busan Film FestivalMarco Valerio Fusco, sales agent at Intramovies; and film director/producer Mina Mileva, have picked A Hero of Our Time by Turkish director and producer Mirac Atabey as the winner of the main Lithuanian Film Center Award, which is accompanied by €5,000 in cash. The story follows three tragic days in the life of an immature young man during his father's funeral preparations in the hills of northeastern Turkey. Feature Film About Life, directed by Dovilė Šarutytė and produced by Uljana Kim, was awarded the Lithuanian Audiovisual Works Copyright Association (AVAKA) Award — namely, €1,000 in cash — for Best Lithuanian Pitch.
