Paperback VR
Dir. Robertas Nevecka, interactive project, 20 min., estimated release 2023
It is a series of four virtual reality experiences, whose axis is the classics of Lithuanian literature. These experiences transfer one to the visual worlds of Jonas Biliūnas’, Antanas Baranauskas’ and Kristijonas Donelaitis’ works.
