Preserving the soul of Lithuania through ancient folk melodies, forgotten silent films, and the voices of generations past. Stream, discover, and cherish.
The Lietuvos Dainų ir Kino Archyvas is a digital preservation project dedicated to the folk music traditions and cinematic heritage of Lithuania — from the ancient polyphonic sutartinės of Aukštaitija to the Soviet-era films of Vilnius Studio.
Our collection spans oral traditions collected by ethnographers from the 19th century, rare recordings from the first era of Lithuanian independence (1918–1940), and digitised film reels from the Vilnius Film Studio archive.
Our collection spans oral traditions collected by ethnographers across the Baltic region, with recordings available for personal listening through our archive player below.
