Šarūnas Bartas was born on 16 August 1964 in Šiauliai. As a teenager, he ran an amateur film studio in Kaunas and went on an expedition to the Sayan Mountains, to the Tofalars, to whom he devoted his first documentary. He studied from 1986 to 1991 at the Moscow film institute and founded Kinema, the first independent studio in Lithuania, of which he is as much producer as director. Katerina Golubeva, his partner, acted in his first three films. A juror at Venice in 1998 and winner of the national prize in 2001, he was given a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in 2016.
