CLOSING NIGHT: THE VISITOR | NYBFF

November 9—7:00 pm9:00 pm

The 8th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November with the best new films from the Baltic region! The festival’s grand finale takes place on Sunday, November 9 with the U.S. premiere of The Visitor (Svečias, dir. Vytautas Katkus, Lithuania/Norway/Sweden, 2025).

Thirty-year-old Danielius has been living in Norway for over a decade. He has everything he needs — a job, a family, and friends. But when his father passes away, he is forced to return to his hometown in Lithuania to sell his childhood flat. Arriving at the end of summer, the small resort town feels like a temporary retreat, until he realizes that everything has changed. As Danielius reconnects with familiar places, old friends, and lingering memories, he is confronted by a quiet sense of loneliness, which he chooses to explore rather than resist. Between farewells and fleeting moments, Danielius embraces the present — immersing himself in the town one last time before finally letting go.

Praised as “an appealingly offbeat debut” (Guy Lodge, Variety) and “a cinematic meditation on solitude” (Georg Szalai, THR), The Visitor offers an unhurried, gentle journey through the strange comforts of nostalgia and the meaning of home.

“The theme of migration is so thoroughly mined in arthouse cinema, it is unusual to find a picture that has something fresh to say. But The Visitor… finds both a new angle and an original means of exploring it” Wendy Ide, ScreenDaily
