About the director:

Kristijonas is an audiovisual artist and filmmaker, born in Vilnius, Lithuania in 1992. In his work, he combines music and sonic art with visual expression in the form of narrative and non-narrative films, music videos, audiovisual installations and projections for stage. Music plays a major role in Kristijonas’ storytelling. This is especially notable through his collaborations with Lithuanian composer Dominykas Digimas. Their recent works ‘Why Does This Appear?’ and ‘Sunshine Cake’ explore the question of the subjectivity in memories, as well as experimenting with docu-fiction storytelling in the form of a silent film with music. Kristijonas recently returned to Lithuania after 10 years abroad, and is currently completing his first Lithuanian short film, ‘Reminiscence’.
