Acid Forest

Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė / Lithuania / 2018 / East European Premiere / 63 min.


synopsis

The Curonian Spit is a destination for both tourists and cormorants. The camera follows visitors from a bird’s-eye view. Their sensations become part of the place’s biodiversity. The ancient birds are – for now – turning into feared bearers of ruin. This observational document looks upon a spectacular part of the continent, the main attraction of which is its dead forest.

biography

Lithuanian director Rugile Barzdžiukaite (1983) is interested in the space and connections between reality and feelings. She made four short films: Celebrating the Mask (2012), Phelophepa (2010), Floating (2006) and K City (2005).
