CineEuroConnect: A Collaborative Film Museum & Heritage Film Festival announces a series of heritage film screenings. These screenings offer audiences a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history of cinema. Classic films are also priceless time capsules, capturing the essence of different eras, cultures and artistic movements. By exhibiting these cinematic gems, we aim to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of the film industry, allowing audiences to appreciate the art and storytelling techniques that have shaped the world of cinema.
Titlu: The Devil’s Bride 1974
Regizor: Arūnas Žebriūnas
Duration: 78 min
A story of an impish devil who used to be an angel but got tired of singing Hosannah and so was condemned to live on earth. From his home in a windmill, he pursues love and happiness in a hilarious and sometimes tragic turmoil that affects the whole countryside.
"Devil's Bride" stands as the inaugural Lithuanian musical ever crafted. Its widespread acclaim has led to it occasionally being referred to as a Lithuanian rock opera akin to "Jesus Christ Superstar."
The event is part of CineEuroConnect: A Collaborative Film Museum & Heritage Film Festival, focusing on the exploration and celebration of cinema as a "Time Capsule."
The project is produced by Mockra Productions, and co-produced with ABI Foundation. The project is part of the National Cultural Programme Timisoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023 and is funded by the OverBorder Culture+ programme, run by The Centre for Culture and Arts from Timis County, with funds allocated from the state budget through the Ministry of Culture.
