Augustė Gerikaitė

Augustė Gerikaitė is a Vilnius based short fiction and documentary film director. She grew up in a small coastline town Kretinga, Lithuania. Her passion for the world of cinema started in primary school, when she started making small films with her classmates, and has not weakened yet. Life in a small town, where everyone is somebody’s relative or neighbour, gave a possibility to observe and unconsciously analyse human relations and interactions. Since then this has become a main topic and point of interest of this young generation director. Auguste is a writer-director, she prefers to write her own scripts, which she then directs, looking at life from the point of view of absurdity and dramedy. She is particularly interested in the relationships between people and how they change depending on the time people have spent together.
