SUMMARY:The Jump
DESCRIPTION:The Fourth Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns in 2021 as a hybrid festival with both in-person and virtual screenings on November 3-14! From November 3 through 7\, in-person screenings and events will take place at Scandinavia House in New York\, presented in accordance with new COVID-19 safety guidance and protocols. Following the success of last year’s festival\, the online version will once again be available to viewers all across the U.S. via the Elevent streaming platform November 3-14. \nOn November 7\, see The Jump (dir. Giedre Zickyte\, Lithuania\, 2021\, Documentary). It’s Thanksgiving Day\, 1970. The U.S. coast guard sets out to meet a Soviet vessel anchored just off the shore of Martha’s Vineyard for a one-day conference between the two nations set to discuss fishing rights in the Atlantic Ocean. While the talks are in full swing\, Lithuanian sailor Simas Kudirka jumps across the icy water onto the American boat in a frantic bid for freedom. To his horror\, and to the outcry of the world media\, the Americans return him to the Soviets and he is tried for treason. The event sets off a series of protests throughout the U.S. begging for his freedom. All hope seems lost\, until new information about Simas’ citizenship surfaces. Through eyewitness reports\, rare archival footage and a dramatic first-person re-enactment by now 90-year-old would-be defector Simas Kudirka\, director Giedrė Žickytė takes us on a stranger-than-fiction journey reaching all the way up to the White House. \nTickets to this event must be purchased in advance online at the link above; film screenings will take place in Victor Borge Hall.
