The cult virtual reality film Angelų takais (Angel Trails), which has captivated hundreds of thousands of viewers, presents a updated 2024 version of the film and is coming to Klaipėda, to the Culture Factory! Starting September 22, all residents and visitors of the port city will be able to immerse themselves in the depths of M. K. Čiurlionis' work with the help of virtual reality.

The updated film "Angel's Path," based on the latest VR trends for 2024

The new version of Angelų takais will delight viewers not only with its updated image quality and expression, but also with enhanced spatial sound and subtle details that will allow them to immerse themselves in the film even more deeply. Project manager Lukas Verpetinskas says, "The first version of the film was released six years ago (2018), so in order to improve and provide viewers with the highest quality film experience, we followed the trends in virtual reality and applied them to the updated version of Angels' Path."

This task was not as simple as it may seem, as the authors not only improved some scenes in the virtual film, but also practically recreated them. "We began to look for principles for transferring Čiurlionis' visual style into virtual space. Before embarking on a journey to another world, we decided to allow the viewer to get used to an unfamiliar space, calm their mind, and help them sink into a meditative state of observation. That's why we tried to fill it with as many nuances and small details as possible, allowing viewers to discover something new each time," shares one of the film's creators, producer Vitalijus Žukas.

The filmmakers paid a lot of attention to working with spatial sound. When creating the updated version of Angelų takai, they brought in specialists from the Netherlands who helped create a new level of sound. "We hope that it will delight even the most demanding audiophiles and help everyone immerse themselves in the wonderful world of Čiurlionis' music," says Kristina Buožytė, director of the virtual film.

By observing the artist's world with their gaze, viewers can not only explore it, but also influence it: by looking closely at certain objects in the painting, the image comes closer and reveals itself in a new way. This interactive experience provides an opportunity to delve deeper, empathize with each of Čiurlionis' paintings, and decipher or interpret the message hidden within them in your own way," confirms V. Žukas.

The most impressive paintings by M. K. Čiurlionis, combined with the artist's music in virtual space, will take viewers on a sensitive experiential journey and allow them to discover the famous artist's work in a new way. The virtual reality film "Angelų takais" (Angel Trails), which has gained recognition on the national and international stage, is a journey that you can experience at the Klaipėda Culture Factory.

Angelų takais (Angel Trails) will reveal the magic of 60 of M. K. Čiurlionis' most beautiful paintings. The music of M. K. Čiurlionis and Mindaugas Urbaitis playing in the background will immerse you in the artist's inner world and allow you to breathe in creative inspiration into your everyday life. It will be like refreshment for the soul.

The film, created by director Kristina Buožytė and producer Vitalijus Žukas, presents Čiurlionis' famous paintings in three-dimensional space: "Tranquility," "Angels," "Altar," "Message," "Angel," "Sun," and others. However, this film is not a simple virtual display of paintings – with the help of VR glasses, the viewer is transported into a whole world created from M. K. Čiurlionis' motifs, where the cycle of the day changes, and daytime paintings can be seen in the twilight of night and vice versa.

𝗔𝗣𝗜𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗞𝗧𝗔̨:
Sound artist Lukas Tarvainis and visual artist Arina Chigareva present the project (Dis)course. This is an invitation to explore the area without following the traditional Top 10 tourist map, but by using various senses and combinations thereof, thus giving event participants a unique opportunity to get to know the area through a multi-sensory experience from different perspectives, which would take the form of a performance, installation, or other creative idea.

𝗔𝗣𝗜𝗘 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘̨ 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗝𝗔̨:
The first stop on the (Dis)course route was chosen to be the city of Klaipėda, which is unique in that it combines the identity of an industrial city and a port city with the distinctiveness of a natural area, landscape, and geographical location. And this, according to the project's authors, is the synergy of this city, which gives Klaipėda its unique identity.
The event will feature an artistic installation "𝗗𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗷𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲̇ 𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲̇. 𝗞𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗣𝗘̇𝗗𝗔: 𝟰 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗸𝘁𝘆𝘃𝗼𝘀", during which we will explore the identity of the city of Klaipėda through four senses: hearing, sight, smell, and touch. This installation, combining music, visual art, aromatherapy, and the sense of touch, will seek to reveal new perspectives on the city and encourage awareness of the environment around us. The use of a multi-sensory approach will allow the viewer not only to see, but also to hear, smell, and feel the work of art, providing an opportunity to delve deeper into its meaning.

𝗔𝗣𝗜𝗘 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗞𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗡Ė𝗦 𝗠𝗨𝗭𝗜𝗞𝗢𝗦 𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗬𝗠𝗔̨:
After the event, Klaipėda residents and visitors will be treated to a 30-minute musical performance which will complement the atmosphere of the evening and allow you to immerse yourself in Lukas Tarvainis' live dialogue between ambient electronics and fragments of Klaipėda's soundscape.
