Hello, I'm Airida.
Filmmaker and screenwriter trained at the University of the Arts London. My films explore people, places and emotions, often circling the quiet difficulty of being. I believe cinema holds a mirror to reality, but I prefer when that reflection cracks a smile. Even if the joke's on us.
Alongside narrative work, I've spent the past decade creating commercial, corporate, and short-form social media content. Same eye pointed at products, campaigns, and ideas that need to live online.
Got a wild idea? Let's make it move.
Documentary film
A documentary film about Lithuania's most mysterious site, the Hill of Crosses. Some say it is magical, others say it is haunted. The Hill of Crosses stands as evidence of resistance against the Soviet regime. Despite being bulldozed and set on fire many times, it is still alive and bears witness to the most bizarre stories of intrigue and crime.
Short film
Two strangers meet by chance and spend the day drifting through Alytus, following a viral promise of quick cash. As they move through the city, its streets, people, and everyday rhythm shape their journey, hinting at the possibility of finding home in someone else.
Short Film
A story about a young man's tense relationship with his father as they renegotiate their dynamic as he moves into adulthood, told through a hedonistic adventure gone wrong. Directed by David Kynigos.
branded content
The making of a personalised silver message ring, transforming silver waste into beautiful jewellery.
Warm communication, deep attentiveness, and an intuitive sense of mood - this, and so much more, is what I experienced working with Airida. Even though I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, I didn't have to say much. She never pushed my limits, yet sensitively captured not only the behind-the-scenes of my work, but also my personality. I know I'll be coming back to her in the future.
Short film
Set over the course of a single morning in a public park, the film follows a hustler pitching a too good to be true business idea to anyone who will listen. At the center of the story is a single 50 pence coin, which may be insignificant to some, yet to others a small treasure.
Marketing & Educational Content
Short-form videos for social media and course filming, designed to communicate expertise clearly and professionally.
Content created for a former Vilnius University lecturer and founder of the English language boutique Lingua, specializing in personalized, niche English courses for adults.
Airida is all about trust, experience, and non-negotiable professionalism. She creates an atmosphere where I feel completely at ease, with no stress or pressure. Her work is creative and non-standard, and she truly listens to her clients' needs while skillfully managing the entire process. I genuinely recommend Airida.
Short Film
A widower is questioned about his wife’s death in an interrogation that slowly turns inward. Through silence, repetition, and reflection, the film explores guilt, denial, and the unreliability of memory.
Documentary film
A documentary film about the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Jews of Kaunas, exploring the community's cultural legacy and the tragic turns of its history through a sensitive and moving narrative.
Airida is an editor of exceptional creativity who proposed interesting solutions while editing the film. She is a benevolent team member who always considers at least several editing options. I would like to emphasize her high standards and ethical approach when defending one or another concept of shots or editing decisions. It was fun and pleasant to create together.
Short Film
A short film follows the journey of a teenage boy grappling with social anxiety who decides to take an unconventional path to maturity by starting to smoke. Directed by Dino Dassler.
Documentary film
A short documentary exploring the mental health crisis within contemporary healthcare systems. The film examines healthcare workers burnout, stigma, and the emotional toll of caring for others. What happens when the system itself becomes ill?
Airida is a highly creative and dedicated professional I worked with on the short documentary On est Malade, filmed in Paris and London. Her strong ideas, open mindset, and excellent organization made our collaboration both inspiring and effective. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity, creativity, and meaningful teamwork.
