Kinas ir jo priežiūra tarpukario Lietuvoje
Film Screening in the Interwar Lithuania

Summary/Abstract: Research on film screening in interwar Lithuania was inspired by the final thesis written in 1937 by V. Alseika, a student of Faculty of Law at Vytautas Magnus University. During his studies he worked as a member of the editorial board of “Kinas” magazine from 1934 to 1935. It is not surprising, then, that Alseika supervised film screening. This article is the first attempt to conduct both a legal review and an historical review of film screening in Lithuania. However, the value of this artilce is enhanced by its relying on the archives of the Kaunas County Press and Associations’ Department, some of which were destroyed in 1954. Thus, this article has become the only source of relevant documents illustrating censorship of film screening in Lithuania and beyond. The article is mainly based on documents found in the Department of Manuscripts of Vilnius University Library and the Central State Archives of Lithuania.
