Vilnius Film Festival

About

Bold, radiant, and brimming with character – that’s Vilnius film festival since 1995.

Every year, the festival attracts over 100,000 spectators, who, when the lights go down, open themselves up to the magic of cinema – and cinema opens up to them. It’s a spring tradition that enriches and expands our horizons. But that’s just the beginning!

Vilnius film festival is more than just a festival. It’s a distributor of auteur films, a creator of unforgettable summer events, and a major driver of the cinema industry.

All of this together forms a CINEMA DISCOVERY PLATFORM – a place where great cinema is always within reach. For our audiences, we bring films from the world’s top international festivals. For talented filmmakers, we offer recognition. For the industry, new partnerships. And for our partners, a chance to reach new audiences.
