This year, the festival offered films in four different programme sections including All the Muses dedicated to the world of art and creativity. 33 films from neighbouring European countries, USA, Canada and the exotic Iceland were screened in Kaunas during the festival.

It was introduced by the filmmaker Jacques Debs himself and the world known Lithuanian artist Stasys Eidrigevičius who also played one of the most important roles in the film. Throughout the weekend, the guests communicated with Kaunas’ audience and on Monday they will come to meet the viewers in “Pasaka” film theatre.
