Movie: Impromptu

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    The title of “Impromptu” reflects both its creating process and the trait of life taking an unexpected course. This film intertwines time and space by being filmed frame on frame, in surprising locations, during a surprising time… but exactly this was the idea of the creator: contingency and visual improvisation. —Kaunas International Film Festival
