Vaizdinio-laiko transformacija sovietiniame Lietuvos kine
The Transformation of the Time-Image in the Soviet Lithuanian Cinema

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores a new trend in the contemporary philosophy of cinema – the politicization of Gilles Deleuze’s famous film concepts – the time-image and the movement image. This kind of approach usually stands assumes two or more confronting political identities and the political knowledge proceeding from it. This paper argues that this confrontation needs to explain how such knowledge is produced. This approach requires a new hybrid-image. It is argued that this kind of attempt to politicize the time-image contradicts the political philosophy proposed by Deleuze. This thesis is advanced by analysing the assumptions on politicizing the time-image. The impasse is answered by combining the time-image and the movement-image and proposing a new type of the time-image – the kairos-image. Finally it is shown how the kairos-image functions in the Soviet Lithuanian film One-Day Chronicle (1963). This functioning negates the now popular arguments of the non-existent political resistance in the art of Soviet Lithuanian artists.
