These encompassed a variety of productions, including feature films, a television series, and international advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>The projects included two domestic films, two foreign feature films, a major Sci-Fi series, four commercials (targeting both Lithuanian and international audiences), as well as two student productions, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/filmvilnius.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Vilnius Film Office<\/a>. The full list of titles has not been revealed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In\u00a0March 2025, the filming took place\u00a0in more than 50 different locations across the city. It\u2019s exciting to see that, this time, not only the Old Town but also other districts (Naujamiestis, Smalin\u0117, \u017dirm\u016bnai, Kair\u0117nai), as well as Vilnius\u2019 natural landscapes, forest trails, and beaches were getting attention. We are grateful to the city&#8217;s residents for their patience and understanding during filming. Foreign filmmakers greatly appreciate this and eagerly return to Vilnius to bring their creative visions to life. This attracts direct foreign investment and increases the city&#8217;s visibility,&#8221; said\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/filmvilnius.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Vilnius Film Office<\/a> director J\u016brat\u0117 Pazikait\u0117.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The largest production in Vilnius so far in 2025 is Star City, created by Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, and starring Rhys Ifans and Anna Maxwell Martin. The series produced by Sony Pictures Television for Apple TV+ started shooting in February 2025 in Vilnius and its neighboring regions, assembling a crew of more than 130 industry experts (predominantly from Lithuania), along with the assistance of an additional 40 personnel.<\/p>\n<p>The production services for Star City were provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/balticfilmservices.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Baltic Film Services<\/a>, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balticlocations.lt\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Baltic Locations<\/a> supervised the management of filming sites. Both companies possess significant expertise gained from their involvement in other prominent productions filmed in Lithuania, including HBO&#8217;s Chernobyl and Catherine the Great, BBC&#8217;s War and Peace, and Netflix&#8217;s Stranger Things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VILNIUS: In March 2025, Vilnius hosted film crews from Estonia, Sweden, Ukraine, the USA and Lithuania, who were&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[93],"tags":[2413,2414,2415,2412,2417,2416,2406,2401,2411,2418,1138,2403,2396,2399,2395,2400,2398,2397,2404,2405,2419,2420,171,2421,2422,2409,2423,2407,2408,2424,2402,2425,2410,2426,170],"class_list":["post-9977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-vilnius","tag-16mm-film","tag-8mm-film","tag-bulgarian-film","tag-central-european-film","tag-cyprus-film","tag-czech-republic-film","tag-director","tag-documentary-film","tag-eastern-european-film","tag-estonia-film","tag-film","tag-film-company","tag-film-database","tag-film-distribution","tag-film-grants","tag-film-industry","tag-film-production","tag-film-schools","tag-film-studio","tag-filmmaking","tag-hungary-film","tag-latvia-film","tag-lithuania","tag-lithuania-film","tag-malta-film","tag-movie","tag-poland-film","tag-producer","tag-production","tag-romania-film","tag-short-film","tag-slovenia-film","tag-television","tag-turkey-film","tag-vilnius"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
