Milda Baginskaitė


Bio



Writer/Director


I have been writing and directing since the age of six - starting with small theatre productions in an old misused garage in my hometown in Lithuania. After completing bachelors degree in Film Studies and European Languages at Lancaster and Parma Universities, I decided to stop writing about other people's films and set out to find my own cinematic voice through such topics as childhood, obsession with tradition, beauty, and power. I completed a masters degree at the Northern Film School, UK.

At the very first steps of my directing career, I have been lucky to be selected to screen my short films and receive awards at several international film festivals (more).
