On Sacred and Profane

On Sacred and Profane 2025 Directed by Giedrė Beinoriūtė Sacrum ir Profanum Pievėnuose

Once a year, a quiet and secluded village in the north-western part of Lithuania comes alive to celebrate Catholic Easter, doing its best to preserve the vanishing ancient tradition of the Guardians of the Cross. With gentle humor observing the preparations of the local community for the vigil and immersing the audience in Easter night, the filmmakers raise questions about the relationship between the sacred and profane in the modern world.
