SUMMARY:Balzekas Museum Film Screening: "Second Hand"
DESCRIPTION:See “Second Hand” (2019) an award-winning documentary on migrants caught up in UK’s used clothing trade by filmmaker Artūras Jevdokimovas \n“Second Hand”\, is a tragicomic tale of the long\, meandering journey of donated second hand clothing: from the doorsteps of English manor houses to smalltown Lithuanian markets and charity shops.\n“Second Hand” (2019) exposes the gritty underside of Europe’s used-clothing trade and the lives of the people caught up in its intricate and far-reaching web. The film exposes how clothes donated to charity in the UK become windfall for profiteers\, who capture and move the goods to second-hand markets in Lithuania and other European countries.\nPart documentary comedy\, part detective story\, “Second Hand” tells the story of four Lithuanian migrants–who come to the UK in search of opportunity but who fall prey to human traffikers and organized criminals. These ringleaders appear to care less for the people they exploit than for the used and discarded clothing they peddle. Despite the clash of cultures and tragicomic incidents\, the four characters manage to maintain hope\, humor\, and dignity in a cruel and inhumane environment thanks to their own grit and to filmmaker/director Artūras Jevdokimovas’s sensitive portrayal . \nMEET FILMMAKER ARTŪRAS JEVDOKIMOVAS\nArtūras Jevdokimovas\, an award-winning Lithuanian filmmaker\, will be on hand for the screening and Q& A afterwards. This program is in English. \nRun Time (1 hr. 26 min.) In English and Lithuanian\, with English subtitles\nDirector: Arturas Jevdokimovas\nWriters: Arturas Jevdokimovas\, Arunas Matelis\, Ramune Rakauskaite\nProducers: Jeremiah Cullinane\, Algimante Matelis\, Arunas Matelis\, Mark Olexa\nLine producer:Julija Matulyte\nCinematography: Eitvydas Doskus\, Vytautas Rimkevicius\nProduction Companies: Dok Mobile\, Planet Korda Pictures\, Studio Nominum\nMature subject matter may not be suitable for all audiences. \nREFRESHMENTS PROVIDED: Masks and Proof of Vaccination Required \nTHIS EVENT IS FREE TO CURRENTLY ENROLLED FILM STUDENTS! \n
