In the film the traveller’s role is taken by members of American hardcore hip hop group ONYX, whose music played in the background of Vilnius street wars just a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and whose emblem, tagged any time between then and now, marks many walls in Vilnius to this day.

A Desire For Things To Work
Gerda Paliušytė
"A Desire For Things To Work" is an essay film and a tale of contemporary flaneurship – a one night trip in Amsterdam, the city, which is well known for its low-cost entertainment. As the city in the film is seen being empty, the flaneur – an unidentified traveller of the non-human nature, explores the city's architecture reminiscent of the pre-given desires and systems of attachment that embraces us all. Followed by the voices of the phone-sex operators, the trip is a dedication to the libidinal economy and the escaped fantasies that emerge.

Nevermore
Gerda Paliušytė
"Nevermore" can be viewed as a gothic tale set in present-day Baltimore. By tracing the legend of Edgar Allan Poe, a famous American writer who lived in Baltimore between 1833 and 1835, the film explores Poe’s ghostly oeuvre in the popular imagination. It also depicts different communities and protagonists that are connected through Poe’s legacy, as well as the social divisions between them.
