1.     Moving image making, films, video ‘art’, 2 languages, post-totalitarian, Lithuanian, living in between 2 worlds, feeling-based, personal, texts, texts on screen, poetry, surreal, cinematic mixed with experimental, (too) abstract, (sur)real, documentary, (literally) poetic documentary, identity, re-connecting experimental, archive, interview, observational, cut-out, challenge, speak up.

2.     Writing methods (and more) that seemed to work for me :

- Stream of consciousness;

- Cut-out method;

- Translating from Lithuanian to English

           Readings :

-       Poetics of Space (Gaston Bachelard)      

-       Vilniaus Pokeris (Ričardas Gavelis)

-       Tūla (Jurgis Kunčinas)

3.     Took a very abstract, experimental way de-attached from more obvious/commercial making, less technical more personal, more poetic. Was great exploring these new ways of creating, next step would be connecting these two and making something that is rich technically yet has poetic, abstract artistic qualities. Developing new technical skills (graphic design, blender, audition) and applying it to my creative world.

4.     Working with typography and film, engaging into writing scrips of fiction and documentary. Starting working on the film about love/obsession – connect it to Lithuanian mythology (Milda – goddess of love). I want to connect documentary and fiction, gain more power over my projects, make it work instead of let it work by itself. More planning, organizing, collecting NEW material (opposed to working with the one I already have) producing more.
