“The Brig” (1964) & “Expectations and Other Goods” (2024)

You are warmly invited to a special cinema evening featuring two remarkable films:

At 17.30 director Dali Rust will present her short film “Expectations and Other Goods” from 2024 and talk about the results of her “Collage” workshop, which she will develop during her five-day residency in Kriaunos.

At 18.30 we are very delighted to show “The Brig” (1964) by the legendary avant-garde artist Jonas Mekas. The event will also feature Jonas Mekas’ close artist friend Arūnas Kulikauskas and Rimvydas Pupelis, who was central in bringing an exhibition with Jonas Mekas, Louise Bourgeois, Nam June Paik and others to Obeliai in the 1990s. Furthermore, Indra Drevinskaitė, from the Biržai Public Library, will talk about the work of the “Jonas and Adolfas Mekas Legacy Study Center”.

Concert and After-Party on July 19, starting at 20.00

Algis Fediajevas: “Shamanic Acoustic Psychedelia”

We are thrilled to have Algis Fediajevas, who will lead through a very special musical evening.

He is a creator of shamanic acoustic psychedelia. His music—built on original and virtuosic acoustic guitar playing and the unpredictability of his songs—invites listeners to dive into an inner journey through bright, euphoric, and darker, more intense sonic dimensions.

At the end of 2023, Fediajevas released his fourth album, Po trejų metų (After Three Years), recorded in England and released in vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats. The album features contributions from local musicians, with cover art by his sister, Julija Fediajevaitė. It has received international attention, including reviews in Folk Radio UK and The Wire.

Fediajevas actively performs both in Lithuania and abroad—following the album’s release, he toured in the UK, Germany, Finland, and Central Europe.
