Alanté Kavaïté

Alanté Kavaïté (Vilnius) began her career as the lead actress in Lithuanian Raimundas Banionis' Jazz (1992). After moving to France she studied first in Avignon and later in Paris at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where she specialized in photography and video art. Before realizing her first feature entitled Fissures (Écoute le temps, 2006), she worked as an editor and also focused on short features. While she mixed elements of thriller and fantasy in her internationally successful debut – a story in which the protagonist investigates the circumstances surrounding her fortune-telling mother's murder – her new work is a subtle psychological study of growing up.
