Gustavo Jahn & Melissa Dullius were invited to the “3rd 8 mm Film Festival” in Vilnius.
They were invited to present a program with their films, wich was shown on the afternoon of october 3rd, at the “Antanas Venclova Memorial Room”.


The festival was coorganized by the Super 8 Klubas “Picnic in a Hand”, whose members also organized the Workshop on developing film material that had brought Gustavo to Lithuania in August. Jaap Pieters, super 8 filmmaker and photographer was also a guest from the Festival, bringing the joy of his films and presence.


Gustavo and Melissas presented films on super 8 and 16mm, and slide projections. A highlight was the premiere of “Puppenhaus”, their first film shot in Berlin around January 2007. Puppenhaus is a 16mm triple projection, consisting on 3 projectors that screen simultaneously: 1) the sky crossed by airplanes; 2) Sybille, and 3) Myrna, female neighbours that interact by their windows and through their walls.
