Director's biography

Urtė Sabutytė

Urtė Sabutytė has a BA in Media Studies from the Vilnius Academy of Arts, and an MA in Cinema Arts from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. Her first film “Savi kambariai” (Our Rooms) was somewhere in-between a short film and an art installation. In her second film “Šviesus rytojus” (Dead by Dawn), which premiered at the Scanorama film festival, Urtė started to experiment with elements of genre cinema, which became even stronger intertwined with her personal touch in her graduate movie “Apklausa” (Interrogation). In addition to her creative endeavours, Urtė frequently volunteers and works with different NGOs in the fields of culture and community.
