The Image of Vaižgantas in Documentary Film “Code of Tumas”

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the documentary film Code of Tumas directed by Eimantas Belickas and seeks to reveal the image of Vaižgantas. The Code of Tumas legitimizes a new convention on the language of documentary film, based on documentary fact and fiction and a double temporality. In the documentary film Code of Tumas, Belickas chose a narrative based on the temporal chronology of the political and cultural events of late 19th and early 20th centuries, in which Vaižgantas took an active part. Therefore, the social image of Vaižgantas in the film is much more significant, often overshadowing the personal one. Tum’s surname in the title of the film forms the expectation of the prerogative of personal, private space, which is only partially and fragmentarily fulfilled in the film. The film is dominated by the public sphere, with publicly performed roles associated with the name of Vaižgantas.
