by Lithuanian director Jurgis Matulevičius will celebrate its world premiere, diving into the darkness of 20th-century history with its focus on a political activist called Andrius Gluosnis, who kills the title character during the infamous Lietūkis Garage Massacre in 1941. “We wanted to comprehend the everyday life of the post-war Soviet era and to better understand our parents, grandparents and the whole society of that time,” says the director. “However, the ideas of the film should be relevant to any historical period, as Isaac is about the constant fight within the human being, with himself and his environment.” In turn, in Tomorrow We Are Free [+leggi anche:

, loosely inspired by Pádraic Ó Conaire’s novel Deoraíocht, which sees a musician, crippled in an accident, suddenly recruited by an avant-garde circus. “The story of Finky is structured around a psychological exploration of guilt, and the search for forgiveness and redemption. Finky is punishing himself for his sins; will he be able to forgive himself and move on?” explains the director to Cineuropa. “He is a complex character – full of rage, yearning, loss and hope. He is neither a hero nor a villain. His journey is similar to that of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and he embarks on a twisted odyssey over the rainbow. It’s a feverish and frenetic opera of the street: Finky’s not in Kansas any more.” Another unusual protagonist will come courtesy of Elisa Mishto’s Stay Still [+leggi anche:

– a mixture of different genres concentrating on a few hours in the life of a rural community, affected by an accident. “The participation of Supernova in the debut competition at the Black Nights Film Festival is a great joy for us and for the whole team,” Kruhlik tells Cineuropa. “I am very happy because it will be our first encounter with a foreign audience, already at an ‘A’ festival. We are a ‘young’ film, and the Tallinn Film Festival is still a fairly young event. I hope that something interesting will come out of the combination of these two energies.”
