Sidabrinė gervė (Silver Crane) are the Lithuanian film industry awards for best actors, directors and films. The annual awards were initiated in 2008 by AVAKA (audiovizualinių kūrinių autorių teisių asociacija), 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.
During the ceremony, the Golden Crane (Auksinė gervė) award, for the merits to the national cinema, is also presented. Also, since 2009 an award for the best student work of the year was issued, which was named Sidabrinės gervės kiaušinis ("Silver crane egg") in 2012.
During 2008-2018 the award event was organized by the Lithuanian Film Academy In 2019 the Lithuanian Film Academy retired due bankruptcy. As a result the awards for that year were cancelled. Lithuanian film industry awards "Silver Crane" returned in 2020 and was held by the AVAKA, which, after announcing the competition in 2019, acquired the rights to the Silver Crane Award.[1][2]
