## Biography

Gints Zilbalodis is a Latvian filmmaker, animator and composer. Born on 13 April 1994 in Riga, he is self-taught and began making animated shorts as a child, later studying multimedia design.

His debut feature *Away* (2019) was made almost entirely alone, with Zilbalodis directing, writing, animating, editing and composing the score. His second feature *Flow* (2024), for which he again served as director, writer, editor, cinematographer, producer and co-composer, was made with a wider team at Dream Well Studio and international co-producers.

Zilbalodis has also directed several short films including *Aqua* (2012), *Oasis* (2017) and *Rush* (2010). *Flow* won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
