Programme duration 14'
Lithuanian artist Deimantas Narkevicius creates complex, poetic explorations of post-Soviet Lithuania and the relationship of its peoples to their past. Often using the aesthetic or structure of the 'documentary' film, he employs interviews, archive film, animation, and original footage. He focuses on the individual and the personal, often structuring his work around forgotten or repressed testimonies and stories. Narkevicius' films grapple with universal questions about our political and moral obligations to history and memory, asking how, why and what we remember.

The second programme of his films in conjunction with the Time Zones exhibition will include the London premiere of his most recent project, Once in the XX Century.

Narkevicius will be joined in conversation with Martin Clark, Exhibitions Curator at The Herbert Read Gallery, Kent Instutite of Art and Design.
