The 11 member Vilnius Film Cluster project which was founded in 2011, includes Vilnius Gediminas Technical University as well as ten Lithuanian production and post production outfits. The project is partially supported by EU structural funding and headed by General Manager Aidas Akcijonaitis.
The cluster also includes 700 sq m of offices, makeup up rooms and space for post production and other facilities. There is also a 370 sq m green screen box.
“We have quite big expectations of attracting big international productions,” said Greta Akcijonaitė the project coordinator. “In the past if a really big production wanted to come to Lithuania no one company was big enough to service it, but now as a cluster we can not only service large projects we can also handle many projects at the same time.”
“We have more and more national productions in Lithuania also. There was no decent sound stage so this will really change the production landscape in Lithuania,” said Akcijonaitė.
