‘POLYPTYCH’: FOUR SHORT FILMS

by Tadas Radis & Vilius Jagminas

in English with English subtitles, b&w

A program of four short films by Tadas Radis and Vilius Jagminas, POLYPTYCH is composed of myth, memory, and painterly compositions. 

Hedgehog (2025, 20 min. 16:9, b&w)

Are we our siblings' keepers?

Before an auction, two sisters dismiss the Cain and Abel story. A hedgehog trudges in their garden. Over the course of the evening, the myth begins to materialize. 


At Sea (2024, 15 min. 3:4, b&w)

What will become of him?

At the seaside, a man finds himself bored. Mythical creatures present themselves. The man comes into awareness and must now face his own existence. 


W (2024, ca. 17 min. 3:4, b&w)

What is the ‘w’ that makes a ‘hole’, ‘whole’?

Two directors, looking for completeness from outward endeavors, cast a young man for a film. A young woman, initially rejecting the young man’s offer to act together, finds herself in the liminal realm of the film. 


Glimpses (2025, ca. 15 min. 16:9, b&w)

Whenever I jump into a field of flowers in bloom I return to…

Plush toys, strawberries, bridges to cross. Forests, meadows, marbles to taste. Glimpses of the past experienced through three distinct ages—boyhood, youth, and old age.  


Total running time: ca. 70 min.

Screening followed by a Q&A with the directors.
