Az öregember és a föld
Ez a film Robertas Verba első rendezése. Laimonas Tapinas filmkritikus szerint „ritkán esik meg, hogy valakinek már az első filmje sikeres lesz […], az pedig még szokatlanabb, hogy egy elsőfilm megváltoztatja a filmkészítés trendjeit.”
Robertas Verba was a pioneer of Lithuanian poetic documentary, a chronicler of Lithuanian national revival, a director, cameraman and scriptwriter. He made over thirty documentaries and filmed hundreds of videos chronicling that historic period. He graduated from the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography as a cameraman. According to film critic Živilė Pipinytė, the films he made in 1965–1970 “shaped the genetic fund of Lithuanian documentary film – its stylistic features, the taste for metaphoric image as well as minimalism of a means of expression”.
