On the occasion of the film's 100th anniversary, the screening is presented by the upcoming Vilnius queer festival "Kreivės" and the early film festival "Pirmoji Banga". The film will be accompanied live by sound artist Augustė Vickūnaitė. Legendary Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer's Michael is one of the most significant examples of early queer cinema. Based on the novel of the same name by the Danish writer Herman Bang, the film tells the story of the aging artist Claude Zore and his love for the young Michael, who is his model and protégé. Zorė receives an order to paint a portrait of Countess Zamikova, but he cannot convey her eyes in any way. And Michael can. He fell in love with her. "Michael" is a chamber drama about just a few people and their relationships. The most important things remain unsaid, the story is told through looks, facial expressions and objects. For Dreyer, the most important thing was to work with the actors so that they could accurately convey the delicate and emotionally charged roles that the director captures in close-ups.
