Before the national premiere in Scanorama, "The Noisemaker" travels around foreign festivals

Lithuanian short film "The Noisemaker" after the successful world premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival International Short Film Competition Pardi di Domani (Leopards of Tomorrow) continues to travel around foreign festivals – at one of them the film has just won The Best award.

On 25 October, at the Awards Ceremony of the 19th Riga International Film Festival 2ANNAS, "The Noisemaker" directed by Karolis Kaupinis was named the Best Baltic Short Film. This decision was made by an international jury – journalist and festival programmer Fabrice Praz (Switzerland), curator of the Encounters Festival Gaia Meucci (United Kingdom) and director Mihai Grecu (Romania). That same weekend, on 26 October, "The Noisemaker" was also screened at the Thessaloniki International Short Film Festival (Greece). On 7 November, this Lithuanian short film will be shown at the 24th International Film Festival in Cottbus (Germany), which focuses on Eastern European cinema.  Another festival, held in the UK, – the 28th Leeds International Film Festival will show "The Noisemaker" on 12-14 November. At Thessaloniki, Cottbus and Leeds festivals, the film takes part in international short film competition programs.

National premiere of "The Noisemaker" in Lithuania is planned on 14 November within the short film competition program "New Baltic Cinema" at the 12th European Film Forum Scanorama.

The film "The Noisemaker" tells the story of a small-town school waiting for a delegation from the city. They have to bring a new school bell, because the old one no longer meets the standards of sound. However, the school lacks children and not the bell, so the headmaster makes his best to mask the obvious lack and thus avoid the inevitable closure of the school. The main roles of the headmaster and school watcher in the film were played by Valentinas Masalskis and Šarūnas Puidokas.
