The research part of the artistic doctorate project \u201cPortraying children in cinema: the aspects of a film director\u2019s work\u201d analyses the specific nature of depicting children in film from the perspective of a director\u2019s work. The paper explores contemporary Lithuanian documentaries and feature films created during the Independence period (1990-2017) in which children appear. The main resources of the research are films themselves, their reception and semi-structured interviews with the film directors.<\/p>\n

An overview of the contemporary Lithuanian context of films that feature children focuses on the issues of a child\u2019s image in film and the reception of films with children. An analysis of films by documentary creators A. Stonys, O. Buraja, I. Kurklietyt\u0117 and fiction film directors M. Iva\u0161kevi\u010dius, \u0160. Bartas, A. Juz\u0117nas looks at the characteristics of a directors\u2019 work with children and the versatile and unique working methods that they use. Specific films are analysed from the point of view of ethical, aesthetic and directorial choices which result from the presence of a child in the frame.<\/p>\n

The project also systematises and communicates the author\u2019s personal experience from films with children. It touches upon the challenges when it comes to depicting a speaking child in the documentary \u201cPokalbiai rimtomis temomis\u201d (Eng. \u201cConversations on Serious Subjects\u201d) and working with children in the violence and abuse scenes in the feature film \u201cKv\u0117pavimas \u012f marmur\u0105\u201d (Eng. \u201cBreathing into Marble\u201d).<\/p>\n

The creative part of the artistic project is the feature film \u201cKv\u0117pavimas \u012f marmur\u0105\u201d (Eng. \u201cBreathing into Marble\u201d) based on a novel of the same title by Laura Sintija \u010cerniauskait\u0117. It is a story of a young woman named Izabel\u0117 and her family. A young family adopts a six-year-old boy, who is unable to put down roots in his new family and kills his sick stepbrother. Children aged 6, 7, 11 and 12 star in the film.<\/p>\n
