Director’s Biography

Andrius Žemaitis

Andrius Zemaitis defended his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, studied graphic and industrial design. In 2010, he and his colleague founded the audio-visual visual duo “BrainMonk”. They recorded and released 24 experimental free improvisation albums. The experience with sound also led to a deeper understanding of visual experiences; in this way, sound improvisations evolved into audiovisual works, which in turn paved the way for complex, abstract film projects.
