Director's biography
Beatričė Sofija Piesliakaitė
Beatričė Sofija Piesliakaitė was born in 2000 in Vilnius, Lithuania. She studied Theatre and Film theory and history at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LMTA) from 2019 to 2021. She studied film directing bachelor degree at the LMTA from 2020-2024 (master Audrius Stonys). In 2023, Beatrice was selected to participate in the La Guarimba film Festival residency. There, she deepened her insights into filmmaking and broadened her views of the cinema field with 50 other participants from all around the world. Director films are often enriched by magical realism or slow poetical cinema elements. However, Beatrice is not afraid to experiment with each new work and to find unique cinematic language to fulfil particular story needs. Directors work explores ever changing movement of time and flux of life itself as well as more personal issues of everyday life such as sexual identity and its representation in society.
