Scanorama (film festival)
Scanorama, the European Film Festival, is held in Lithuania every year in November. It was established in 2003. The festival is usually held in three cities: Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, and recently Šiauliai was added to its locations. The artistic director is Gražina Arlickaitė, who is also the festival founder.
In recent years, Scanorama has launched the Scanorama Summer programme, a satellite event aimed at presenting European cinematic traditions and new releases in Lithuania's regions. The project focuses not on single film showings but on organising compact festivals in smaller towns.
