Scanorama (film festival)
The European Film Forum Scanorama is a film festival in Lithuania held annually in November. It was established by Gražina Arlickaitė in 2003. Since then she is the manager and artistic director of the festival. The festival was usually held in three cities: Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda,[1] and recently Šiauliai was added to its locations.[2] Originally, it was established as a film forum of Nordic countries.[1] Over time its scope grew and it had eventually become a forum for films from all European countries.
In 2008, Scanorama established the Baltic short film competition "New Baltic Cinema". In 2022 it was renamed to "Glimpses of Europe", to address the expanded scope of the festival.[3]
In 2017 Scanorama, together with six other European film festivals established the film festival network "Moving Images – Open Borders"[4] to enhance the cooperation of European filmmakers.[5]
In 2022, the 20th anniversary Scanorama was held in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, and Alytus.[6]
