ATTENTION! Venue: NKDT Small Stages Yard (Kęstučio St. 62). In case of unfavorable weather (strong wind, rain), the event will move to the Great Hall of the "Romuva" cinema (Laisvės al. 54).
This summer, the screenings of "Žalios lauko kino" will invite you not only to enjoy cinema under the open sky, but also to choose more sustainable daily habits. We invite you to come to the events on foot, by bike or by public transport - this way, together, we will contribute to a cleaner environment. And we will encourage you to take care not only of nature, but also of your own health: the partner of "Žalios lauko kino" - Žaliakalnis polyclinic - has prepared a gift for each viewer of the special screenings.
Jeremy spends his days behind the counter of a video store, a world far removed from the American basketball courts he admires on videotapes. Meanwhile, Buna cleans an airport, confined to the place by poor prospects and a constantly dropping internet connection. At first glance, it doesn't seem like they're destined to break into the competitive world of professional basketball - let alone dominate it. From the filmmakers of The Untouchables comes the incredible true story of two underdogs who overcame all odds to pursue their American dream.
"American Dream" draws inspiration from the true story of two French agents who became NBA world powers, Bouna Ndiaye and Jérémy Medjana. Their story is retold here not as a documentary reconstruction, but as a comedic tale of a difficult beginning. Driven by themes of perseverance, hard work and loyalty, the film revives the spirit of classic American "outsider" cinema, while maintaining a strong French identity.
The gifts for this session were established by Žaliakalnis Polyclinic together with our partner UAB Oribalt Vilnius.
