Burial is the recent film by director Emilija ŠKARNULYTĖ, whose filmography has followed the interrelationship between humans, science, and nature, going back and forth between art and film. Combining the visual and mythical imagination of science fiction films, this film deals with the dismantling of the Lithuanian Ignalina nuclear power plant built in 1983. The Ignalina nuclear power plant was once the largest power plant in the Eastern Bloc, but European countries feared that it was a twin with the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and demanded its closure as a condition for Lithuania's EU membership. The film explores the Ignalina nuclear power plant under decommissioning, a 500-meter underground facility where research on nuclear waste is conducted, and the ancient city of Bahia, Italy, which has sunk into the water. In the film, we see a giant snake that metaphors radioactivity that survives astronomical time, which leaves a strong visual afterimage that asks us: can humans really handle this monster? The film raises timely and important questions not only in Europe, where the safety of nuclear power plants is involved in the whirlwind of war, but also in Korea, where political battles over nuclear power plants are taking place.​
