Company Profile
Established in 2007, Just a moment is a distinguished Vilnius-based independent production company specialising in the creation of auteur films, encompassing both features and documentaries, as well as captivating TV series and artists’ films with a strong emphasis on artistic value and bold analytical exploration. Since our inception, our commitment has been to produce premium audiovisual content in collaboration with visionary creators who seek to push boundaries and elevate the realm of both Lithuanian and European cinema.
With the filmography comprising 29 completed and released films, we take pride in co-producing 14 of these works with partners from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Italy, France, Latvia, Croatia, and Romania. Three more titles will be released by the spring of 2024. Among our latest titles are 'Twittering Soul' by Deimantas Narkevicius (FidMarseille 2023), 'Good Life' by Marta Dauliute and Viktorija Siaulyte (Göteborg IFF 2022, Hot Docs IFF 2022), 'Burial' by Emilija Skarnulyte (Visions Du Reel 2022, Hot Docs IFF 2022, Viennale IFF 2022, MUBI), 'In The Mirror' by Laila Pakalnina (Black Nights FF 2020, Raindance IFF 2022), and 'People We Know Are Confused' by Tomas Smulkis (FIPRESCI Award at Vilnius IFF 2021).
At present, our focus is on a slate of five projects in production and an additional five projects in the development phase. The latter category comprises three TV series, two feature films, a feature animation, and a feature documentary film, all of which offer opportunities for potential co-production partnerships. As active co-production partners, we are currently involved in two feature films that are in the development stage. .

From the point of view of a future archeologist, Burial gazes through the radioactive ruins we’re making into the haunted depths of inaccessible places and the time we bury there. From Etruscan ruins and sunken cities to the most modern of underground repositories, director Emilija Skarnulyte follows our attempts to bury the immortal. Addressing the epochal effects of nuclear technology on all levels, Burial follows the cycle of power, an eternal return, another serpent eating its tail
