Writer
Country:
Lithuania
Lina has completed her MA in Film Directing at the Lithuanian National Film School in 2012, where she currently continues teaching. She has directed three feature films - "Together For Ever" (KVIFF 2016), "The Castle" (Galway Film Fleadh 2020), “Johatsu” (co-directed, Tallinn Black Nights FF 2024) and two documentaries – “Igrushki” (2012) and “Blue/Red/Deport - Picknick in Moria” (2022). Lina's work often focuses on humans battling unbearable or even grotesque circumstances, typically using awkward humour as her signature style. Lina has also directed short films on contemporary dance and architecture “DANCE + CITY” (2022-2024) commissioned and partly supported by ARTE, still active on the festival circuit.
An alumna of many script workshops, Lina has encountered a number of script editors throughout her professional path and was exposed to a variety of techniques. Lina herself has a rather analytical approach and always leads the filmmakers to the bottom of their true intentions so as to help them write a script they really aim for. She is looking into short and feature-length dramas dealing with human condition, coming-of-age stories and those that have a touch of humour.
