Bridges of Time: A Screening and Conversation with Filmmaker Audrius Stonys

MFA in Documentary Film Program presents 

A documentary feature film

Bridges of Time by Audrius Stonys 

Co-sponsored by CREEES (Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies) 

“At the beginning of the 1960s, when the French pioneers of cinéma vérité set out to achieve a new realism, and when direct cinema in Québec began to vie for notice, the Baltics witnessed the birth of a generation of documentarists who favored a more romantic view of the world around them. This meditative documentary essay – from a Latvian writer and Lithuanian director whose composed touch has long dovetailed with the stylistically diverse works of the Baltic New Wave – pushes adroitly past the limits of the common historiographic investigation to create a portrait of less-clearly remembered filmmakers. The result is a consummate poetic treatment of the ontology of documentary creation. Or a cinematic poem about cinema poets.”

- Martin Horyna
