Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the Filmmakers" episode
“The Visitor”.
Interview with producers Marija Razgute and Brigita Beniusyte, interviewer Edvinas Pukšta.
Come and step into the conversation and uncover the secrets behind these burning questions:
1. Who is an inspiration for the director Vytautas Katkus?
2. What were the limitations when filming on a 16mm film?
3. Who was the only actor allowed to improvise during filming?
Ask no more—this interview spills the answers you didn’t even know you were chasing.
Stunning debut feature from director and cinematographer Vytautas Katkus, whose work has previously premiered at both Cannes and Venice. Shot on a 16mm camera, this powerful, poetic drama is a timeless ode to solitude and nostalgia, following new father Danielius as he returns to his childhood hometown to sell his late parents' apartment, finding both quiet routines and changed relationships.

Tallinna Pimedate Ööde filmifestival toob teieni saate “Meet the filmmakers”, peaosas film “Külaline”.
Intervjuu filmi produtsentidega Marija Razgute ja Brigita Beniusyte, intervjueeris Edvinas Pukšta.
Kuula kaasa ja saa vastused nendele põletavatele küsimustele:
1. Kes on režissöör Vytautas Katkuse inspiratsiooniallikas?
2. Millised piirangud kaasnesid 16 mm filmiga filmimisel?
3. Kes oli ainus näitleja, kellel lubati filmimise ajal improviseerida?
Tundub põnev? Ära muretse, vastused pole üldse kaugel.
“Külaline” on režissööri ja operaatori Vytautas Katkuse vapustav debüütmängufilm, kelle varasemad tööd on linastunud nii Cannes’is kui ka Veneetsias. 16 mm kaameraga filmitud võimas, poeetiline draama on ajatu ood üksindusele ja nostalgiale, jälgides värsket isa Danieliust, kes naaseb oma lapsepõlve kodulinna, et müüa oma lahkunud vanemate korter, leides eest nii vaiksed rutiinid kui ka muutunud suhted.
