In this year festival we will not just watch and learn. Also will enjoy various photography, created by our hands, eyes, hearts. The theme of the festival is clearly formulated, but also full of creative freedom.

 

Most sporty, inventive and tough photoenthusiasts are invited in photomarathon, others, who minded to concentrate, to fathom into work, coul do it not so quickly.

 

The theme of this year social-documentary project – „Savanoriai“. Do you remember project „Laisvę fotografijai“, when we photographed Laisvė avenue in Kaunas? We published the catalogue, arranged huge exhibition in Kaunas Picture Gallery. Great version of this exhibition this summer cheers visitors of Kaunas airport.

 

So, this year social-documentary project will invite to photograph Savanoriai prospectus – the longest street in Vilnius and Kaunas (including highway between them). Why namely this street was chosen? Likely it‘s because this street is reflection of dynamics and contrasts. Lets‘s photograph – life in the street, shop, office, school, stadium, beauty salon, at home in the Savanoriai and it‘s environment.

 

Somebody will say that is it crisis now, but this street is a face of our prosperity as well as the  mops and mows of difficult time. Crisis is just in economy, art ignores crisis and pauzes. During difficult times most of the masterprieces of photography arised. Maybe it is time for new mastrpieces to born in Savanoriai prospectus.

 

So where are you, volunteers, who wants to create masterpieces about real Lithuania?...
