Sidabrinė gervė

Summary

Sidabrinė gervė are the Lithuanian film industry awards for best actors, directors and films. The annual awards were initiated in 2008 by AVAKA, the (national) Association for Author Rights of Audiovisual Artists. The award statuette of the crane was created by Audrius Liaudanskas. In Lithuanian, as in English, the word "gervė", 'crane', means both a bird and a lifting device on which cameramen ride.
