Romas Zabarauskas established himself as a provocative Baltic storyteller with a drama-driven, politically engaging, and visually lush body of work. He is a Tallinn Black Nights regular from his debut WE WILL RIOT (2013) to his latest films THE WRITER (2023) and THE ACTIVIST (2025), which, together with THE LAWYER (2020), form a thematic trilogy. His debut short PORNO MELODRAMA (2011) premiered in Berlinale Panorama and told one of the first queer stories in Lithuanian cinema.
