From that moment on, every year, the film has been re-written, inspired by historical changes, the pulse of the city, the experiences of seafarers and the Baltic waves. Each celebration is a NEW EPISODE, and each era is a HISTORICAL LEGACY FOR THE FUTURE.  <\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">In 2026, the Festival of the Sea invites the viewer to look at Klaip\u0117da as if it were an authentic cinema pavilion, a film set, where real heroes have been filming since the very beginning: captains, fishermen, sea rescuers, shipbuilders, artists, travellers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><span class=\"html-span xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs x3nfvp2 x1j61x8r x1fcty0u xdj266r xat24cr xm2jcoa x1mpyi22 xxymvpz xlup9mm x1kky2od\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"xz74otr x15mokao x1ga7v0g x16uus16 xbiv7yw\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tff\/1\/16\/1f3a5.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfa5\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><\/span>  This year&#8217;s theme, HOW TO KINE, will inspire you to try out the celebration of becoming the protagonist of a film without the possibility of a supporting role. The Festival of the Sea is like a feature-length film that has been in the making for almost a century. Every summer becomes another episode or series from the series that premieres all over Lithuania.  <\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\"><span class=\"html-span xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs x3nfvp2 x1j61x8r x1fcty0u xdj266r xat24cr xm2jcoa x1mpyi22 xxymvpz xlup9mm x1kky2od\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"xz74otr x15mokao x1ga7v0g x16uus16 xbiv7yw\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tff\/1\/16\/1f3a5.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udfa5\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><\/span>  What started as a black-and-white documentary &#8211; the first regattas, the marshals&#8217; formation, the small fishing boats &#8211; has gradually turned into a colour film, with carnivals, parades, concerts, modern installations and contemporary narratives of maritime culture.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Each decade has added a new style, a new genre and a new character. Celebration of the Sea 2026 is about this continuous creative process &#8211; about a city that is constantly changing, but remains true to its central theme: the sea.  <span class=\"html-span xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs x3nfvp2 x1j61x8r x1fcty0u xdj266r xat24cr xm2jcoa x1mpyi22 xxymvpz xlup9mm x1kky2od\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"xz74otr x15mokao x1ga7v0g x16uus16 xbiv7yw\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tbc\/1\/16\/1f30a.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf0a\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">Detailed programme coming soon.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEA CELEBRATION is like a feature-length film, started back in 1934, when Klaip\u0117da first invited Lithuania to explore and discover the sea.
