I am a documentary filmmaker with a background in anthropology based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Here, I have been pursuing my own documentary projects and worked as camera operator for others. I began to practice photography and filmmaking as both artistic expression and visual research method while studying BA in Anthropology at the University of Bologna. I have more than 8 years of experience as self-shooting documentary director and an MFA in Film Directing at the Edinburgh College of Art. My interests and research have been on questions of identity and representation, collaborative filmmaking and docufiction. I have expertise in film ethics, Indigenous cinema and the history of Robert J. Flaherty and “Nanook of the North” (1922) which I presented for the “Festival del Cinema Ritrovato di Bologna” and “Le Giornate del Cinema Muto di Pordenone” during its centenary in 2022.
