synopsis

Žaisti Gyvenimą is a virtual reality film / immersive experience, created based on the paintings of the popular Lithuanian modern artist Algis Kriščiūnas. Using modern computer graphics technologies, the artist’s works were recreated in three-dimensional space and placed in an all- encompassing virtual environment. In the almost half-hour long film, Algis Krisčiūnas’ paintings become living stories, which are given meaning by the exciting choreography of directorial decisions and a specially adapted musical soundtrack of the author’s creation. In this film, you will not only see the paintings brought to life, but you will also hear unique stories written by the author Algis Kriščiūnas himself. It is a conversation between a woman and a man about the passing of life—a nostalgic story coloured by memories and experiences, which gives meaning to the artist’s creative thought and reveals a complex world of feelings. The film was created by a large international team of film, computer graphics and animation professionals.

Main Creator’s Statement

Žaisti Gyvenimą is a pioneering project that seamlessly blends art, technology, and storytelling. By transforming Algis Krisčiūnas’ evocative paintings into a three-dimensional virtual reality experience, we aimed to create an immersive journey that resonates on an emotional and intellectual level. The collaboration of our talented international team has brought this vision to life, allowing viewers to not only see but also feel and interact with the artist’s world. This project represents a new frontier in art and storytelling, and we are excited to share this extraordinary experience with audiences worldwide.
