About the event
The summer season of the European Film Festival "Scanorama" has kicked off in Vilnius with the program "Utopian Cinema Evenings". Every summer Wednesday, the apocalyptic amusement park "Utopija" will host open-air screenings of European cinema - films in which anxiety, beauty and human fragility merge into hypnotic cinematic experiences.
A children's book author comes to babysit her friend's two young daughters for the weekend, but she is tired after a long night of work and quickly falls asleep. The unattended girls immediately get into trouble - they magically enter the world of their teacher's fictional creations. There, Carmen and Juliet unite with the star Selma and together they escape from the evil mayor of the kingdom and his servants. The trio realizes that they must find the great wizard Sirocco. His mood is sometimes simply stormy, but he alone knows how to return the girls home.

UTOPIJA
UTOPIA. T. Kosciuškos g. 1, Vilnius
Developed in collaboration with The House of Histories, UTOPIJA was established in 2023 in the courtyard of a former detention center and manor. It is symbolic that a place where artists and creatives were once imprisoned has, through cultural initiative, become a space where music, art, and freedom can flourish once again. UTOPIJA celebrates alternative culture, street art, and bold, uncompromising music. Its program of concerts, parties, and cultural events brings together both Vilnius residents and visitors, while providing a home for diverse communities across the city. With its raw, unpolished character, UTOPIJA embraces the city's rebellious spirit and offers a counterbalance to Vilnius' more polished side.
