Audrius Stonys was born on April 28, 1966 in Vilnius, Lithuanian SSR, USSR. He is a director and writer, known for Ramin (2011), Four Steps (2009) and Alone (2001). He can be called one of the most established Lithuanian film directors. He is the only Lithuanian, who has received “FELIX”– award from European Film Academy as the Best European Documentary film of the year, is laureate of National culture and art premium. Sometimes it seems that he is more famous abroad than in Lithuania, but it also seems that quietude makes his movies even more gripping. During almost fifteen years of creative work Audrius Stonys has remained faithful to himself, his unique conception of cinema and poetical interpretation of the world. Source: www.stonys.lt
