Soviet Lithuanian Amateur Film Collection

The collection represents filmmakers in Soviet Lithuania who could escape Soviet censorship because they were not professionals, and therefore worked outside official structures. As a consequence, these artists were able to address sensitive social issues, and use avant-garde forms of expression that were forbidden in official contemporary cinematography.

本数据集收录了苏联立陶宛地区的电影制作者，他们因非专业人士身份得以规避苏联审查制度，故而其创作活动在官方体系之外进行。由此，这些艺术家得以触及敏感的社会议题，并采用在官方当代电影艺术中被禁止的前卫表达形式。
