Critical film session/discussion “Political love” with Aistė Diržiūtė and Germán de la Fuente at Žeimiai Manor House, Aikas Žado Laboratory, Invisible Man’s Cinematheque.
The session will be held in both Lithuanian and English languages.
The critical film session and discussion “Political love” will explore several narratives concerning love, freedom, cultural differences and politics. By sharing with us their work (a short film and a scene from a feature film), Aistė and Germán will discuss love as a political statement between cultural differences.
Hence, this critical film session will highlight two understandings of love (coming from the people who have fallen in love with one another) and will ask the audience if love can be screened via film ‘radically’, without making a statement about what love is, is not or should be? Can love exist in differences, separating it from politics? Is love personal?
