local effects and context
The event “Urban Lights” aims to strengthen local artistic and cultural connections between Lichtenberg and its partner cities. This year's festival offers citizens in Berlin the opportunity to discover films from Lithuania and at the same time celebrate the long -standing city partnership. It is an example of the diverse cultural scene in Lichtenberg and promotes the exchange between local artists and international filmmakers.
The film festival takes place on the site of the Blo studios, a former railway site where numerous artists have settled today. However, there are concerns about the long -term future of the site, since Deutsche Bahn may have plans to use it to expand the adjacent route. Politicians and people from the cultural industry are committed to the preservation of the area as an art location.
