PRESS RELEASE
BUTTERFLY CITY by Dublin-based Planet Korda Pictures
to celebrate its World Premiere at 2017 Galway Film Fleadh
Premiere: Friday 14 July, 12:15 p.m.
On Friday, 14 July the new documentary by Lithuanian director Olga Černovaitė, BUTTERFLY CITY, produced by Dublin based Jeremiah Cullinane for Planet Korda Pictures, will celebrate its world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh as part of the official selection.
BUTTERFLY CITY is a portrait of the purpose-built Russian-speaking Lithuanian city Visaginas, refusing to die along with its defunct Soviet-era nuclear power plant. At a moment of economic turbulence and political tension, the residents face an uncertain future.
Synopsis: The Lithuanian city of Visaginas was created from nothing in the 1970s in order to service a powerful Soviet nuclear power station. Literally designed and shaped like the wings of a butterfly, it was intended to be a window of Soviet progress to the West. After USSR disintegration, however, EU membership meant Lithuania had to close the plant, the city’s main industry. At a time of growing geo-political tension, and in an ambiance of mutual mistrust, what future for the 25,000 Russian-speaking townspeople?
Refusing to take sides on particular grievances in this sensitive situation, the film is simply another way of asking a rather universal question: if there is a way for different communities living as citizens in the same democratic country to maintain their identity, respect that of others, and live together without fear or suspicion.
