Mantas Kvedaravičius was a member of our association. The idea of setting up a film award in his name was put forward by Denea Jovanovic and embraced by the Executive and local organizing committees, as a way for us to celebrate his memory and pay tribute to his unique work. The Award also gives another opportunity to shine a light on the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine, and reaffirm our unambiguous support to the anti-imperialist engagement illustrated by Mantas’s work. We felt the urge to have a time of collective memorialization that is the occasion for our community to affirm our values and recognize Mantas’s intellectual, political and artistic legacy of courage and love.
