On August 29, 2022, thanks to our partners, the Public Institution “Mental Health Perspectives”, the Public Institution “Dūmų fabrikas”, and director Marija Kavtaradzė, the residents and staff of the Independent Living Home and the “Savi namai” Independent Living Home had the opportunity to watch the film “Summer Survivors”. Marija Kavtaradzė’s film “Summer Survivors” tells the story of young people experiencing mental health difficulties. Their stories are portrayed with sensitivity and warmth, helping viewers understand and empathise with what the film’s characters are going through. The film was very well received by everyone who watched it.
After the film, the residents and staff had the opportunity to meet and talk with director Marija Kavtaradzė at the Public Institution “Dūmų fabrikas”. Everyone was interested in asking the director questions about the film’s characters and the filmmaking process, as well as sharing their thoughts, impressions, and personal life experiences. The director was happy to answer all the questions and explained how the idea for the film came about and how the filming process took place.
We sincerely thank K. Levickaitė, Director of the Public Institution “Mental Health Perspectives”, director Marija Kavtaradzė, Greta Zakarevičienė, Head of the Public Institution “Dūmų fabrikas”, and Gintaras Bingelis, Head of Business Development, for the opportunity to watch this interesting and meaningful film.
