The series will include well-known Lithuanian filmmakers such as Sarunas Bartas (Three Days; The House), Arunas Matelis, who was awarded the Directors Guild of America Best Documentary Filmmaker award in 2007 for Before Flying Back to Earth, and Jonas Mekas (Lithuania and the Collapse of the USSR).

"Other filmmakers like Raimundas Banionis (Children from Hotel America) and the team of Romas Lileikis and Stasys Motiejunas (I Am), whose films appeared early in the liberation of Lithuanian cinema, deserve to be better known abroad, as do the most recent films of Kristina Buozyte (The Collectress) and Gytis Luksas (Vortex) to be shown in their American premieres," said curator of the retrospective, Laurence Kardish.
