* A surprise film! (no more than 25 min)

More info about the Yearfilm Remix:
The So-Called Records' "Yearfilm 1962-2001" was first made in 2001 exploring the legacy of Fluxus (thus the genre of Yearfilm, as Yearboxes). The original footage is taken from the cinema-journals "Tarybu Lietuva" (Soviet Lithuania) from the 60s and 70s, stored in the Lithuanian Cinema Archive, with an intention to trace the joyous and playful in a heavily ideology-driven discourse.

In 2005, the film was remixed by an artist Aurelija Maknyte for the broadcast on CAC TV www.cac.lt/tv and introduced by So-Called Jim (Jim Spears, also and artist) from the New Zealand branch of the So-Called Records. In 2006 the writer Aleksandra Fomina produced a "translation" to this remix to English using lyrics of Laurie Anderson, Pink Floyd and Radiohead.
