The Lost Land

“The Lost Land” is an underwater journey into a world that disappeared more than 12,000 years ago, now resting on the seabed of the Baltic Sea. At depths of 25–32 metres lie the remains of ancient forests — pines and oaks — offering a rare glimpse into the landscape and human life of the Mesolithic period. At the heart of the film is Professor Vladas Žulkus, a pioneer of underwater archaeology in Lithuania, and the expedition team from Klaipėda University. As they explore the remains of these ancient forests, the scientists seek to uncover a largely unknown chapter of the Baltic coast’s history — a lost landscape that today lies beneath the waves.

This film is part of the national student competition. For the first time in history, Inconvenient Films is presenting a new programme that invites students in Lithuania to explore inconvenient topics and get involved in the field of industry professionals. One winner, selected by an international jury, will be awarded with the prize of 1000 Eur. The competition prize is founded by the Audiovisual Copyright Association AVAKA.
