Awake at Night
NaktįNight. A girl lies in a room with eyes wide open, illuminated only by moonlight through the window. It’s not the first night that insomnia troubles her; she keeps waking up, lost in thoughts. Being alone, the girl feels everything—the darkness in the room, the weight of her past, and her own presence. Why is it so difficult in this silence?

Director's biography
Adas Burkšaitis
Adas Burkšaitis graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2012. During his undergraduate years, Adas became obsessed with cinema, theatre, and contemporary art. In 2017, he directed the stage play “Honey I’m Home”, which was a repertoire show at Menų spaustuvė in Vilnius. He has also written and directed short films. In 2020, Adas began his postgraduate studies in film directing at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
“I didn’t start my professional career as a director. After finishing school, I studied Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, then worked as a researcher and software engineer at Google, Barclays, and T-Mobile. Finally, after several years in the technology industry, I gathered the courage to start working on my dream to direct films. My background has an important influence on my creative work. Personal experiences not only inspire stories but also determine the themes I work on. I am interested in technology, growing isolation among people, and disillusionment.”
