This year, Kino Pavasaris celebrates its 30th anniversary! To mark this special occasion, we’ve invited film programmers who have contributed to the festival’s rich history to each select their favorite film presented at Kino Pavasaris in previous years. 30 Springs is a journey through three decades of discovery, revealing the programmers’ passion for cinema and their insightful perspectives. Let’s remember the festival’s most memorable moments and celebrate the films that have shaped Kino Pavasaris over the years.
