Raimondas Vabalas

Died in 2001

Raimondas Vabalas was born on 5 March 1937 in Paris; his family returned to Lithuania in 1940 and he grew up in Panevėžys. A pupil of Juozas Miltinis's studio at the city theatre, then actor and assistant, he studied at the Moscow film institute under Lev Kuleshov. At twenty-two, he completed a film begun by Arūnas Žebriūnas, then made his career at the Lithuanian studio, where in 1964 he directed the first Lithuanian colour film. At odds with the censors, he died in Vilnius on 25 December 2001.
