Every year, short and feature films from Lithuania are shown at the "Lithuanian Cinema Goes Berlin" festival in the Sputnik and Acud cinemas. It is the only festival outside Lithuania with a focus on national film productions.
Long films, short films, documentaries and significant films from the past will be shown. During the festival, visitors can enjoy an insight into the entire range of Baltic film culture.
Under the motto "‘Come closer!," the 2026 festival focuses on stories on the big screen, personal film archives and analogue filmmaking. The programme includes four award-winning Lithuanian films, a selection of outstanding short films, and the return of the "Female Shorts" series featuring films by female directors. In addition, the special programme “Common Days. Lithuanian Home Movies, 1960–1970” will screen digitised private 8 mm footage from Vilnius. A masterclass on analogue 16 mm film and a special screening of Lithuanian short films round off the program.
