Where in Klaipėda can you film authentic 1990s Brutalism, where can you find the most cinematic shot of suspension bridges, and where can you find a shot of the sea and sandy shores for an ad?

Location scouting for film and advertising is not simply about photographing beautiful scenes. It is the ability to find and propose a real, three-dimensional atmosphere that matches a line in the script.

After 10 months of intensive research, investigations, and extensive travel throughout the city of Klaipėda and the surrounding region, we invite you to our final overview and reporting event.

From apartment complex neighborhoods to Olando Kepurė, from concrete piers to seaside dunes and iconic lighthouses or forgotten suspension bridges — an internal location database and an interactive map of potential film and advertising locations have been created as a practical tool for directors, producers, and creators, making the initial steps of location scouting easier.
