Emilija Škarnulytė (1987) is a Lithuanian filmmaker and artist whose work moves between documentary and the imaginary, deep time and the present tense. Her films inhabit inaccessible worlds – decommissioned nuclear plants, drowned cities, neutrino observatories, through the eyes of a future archaeologist. Her feature “Burial” (2022) played 30+ festivals; the New York Times wrote that “few artworks have made me feel as small.” Her work is held by the Centre Pompidou, Kiasma, and Kadist Foundation. She has shown at MoMA, had a solo show at Tate St Ives, won the Ars Fennica Award and Future Generation Art Prize, and founded Polar Film Lab in Tromsø.
