I was in the Buda forest a lot while I was making the film and these people started gradually accepting me into their circle: I’d accompany them to the dumping ground, spent the Christmas Eve and the New Year’s Eve with them.
The Field of Magic documentary film project about people living in Kariotiškės dumping ground, directed by Mindaugas Survila and produced by the Monoklis studio, received success at the Eastern European Forum in Jihlava, Czech Republic and was awarded the Golden Funnel for the best developed project.
