As part of the Melbourne International Animation Festival, phantasmagorical tales of Eastern European mythology has been brought to the screen via a series of unique animations that comprise Milestone: 100 Years of Lithuanian Animation. As per Malcolm Turner festival organizer, expressed his thoughts by saying, Lithuanians have a very strong connection to their forests. Forests feature heavily in their art, fairy tales, literature and oral history. Until quite recent times, it was relatively common practice for old people to walk into the forest when they decided that it was their time to die. Turner had a wide array of selected works which would portray the Lithuanians History but also aforementioned ingrained passion for everything to do with the forests.
