7 sins
In the film, seven sports women who live in seven different Lithuanian cities speak about their opinions on the 'seven deadly sins' (Sloth, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Greed) from a contemporary perspective. The sports women are metaphorically locked in a set of duels, reflective of the competitive nature of the sports they pursue, and in an inner-fight between their manichean personalities that entwine - darkness and light. This duality, and battle, is a constant in both art and life. The documentary explores and portrays a contemporary heroin, and heroism, pitched against the interior legend of persistent work and practice. In the context of current socio-economic crisis, this documentary was inspired by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's 1933 ballet chanté, a ballet with singing. 'The seven Deadly Sins', which portrays two sisters (that is, a two part personality) who travel to seven different cities in search of their fortune during the Great Depression.
Journey through Lithuania
A documentary film proposed by British artist/writer/curator & cultural historian David Ellis to commemorate Lithuania’s anniversary of regaining independence and to gauge the tempo and success of the transition. Almost twenty years ago David Ellis first came to Lithuania lead by curiosity of post soviet culture and constantly continued his visits up until now. It is a diary-based film documenting a journey through Lithuania’s towns, meeting people and discussing how twenty years of independence reflect on their lives. This journey documents David’s meeting with present Lithuania and allows him to compare it with his early experiences.
