Biography
Early life and theatre career
Anupras Lauciūnas was born on 10 January 1926
Although Lauciūnas often played roles in children's plays, he also played parts in plays directed by Kazimiera Kymantaitė, Aleksandras Kernagis , Juozas Judzinskas , and Vitalis Gruodis. Lauciūnas underlined plays such as Konstantin Simonov's "Po Prahos kaštonais", Boris Gorbatov's "Tėvų jaunystė" and especially Antanas Vienuolis' "Paskenduolė", the latter being described by Lauciūnas, who acted as a priest, as the first time Lithuanians were exposed to a mass of operators, assistants, lights and filming machinery in Moscow.[8] The performance in Moscow inspired Vitalis Gruodis to pursue a similar style of production at home, and he suggested they go to Riga for additional studies.[6][8]
Television career
Vitalis Gruodis was made responsible for assembling a team that would prepare broadcasts.[8] From 20 February 1957, Lauciūnas began working as Gruodis' assistant.[9][10] In the summer of the same year, along with cameraman Jurgis Čepulis, Lauciūnas broadcast the first television broadcast in Lithuania from Šiauliai along with Vitalis Gruodis.[11][12] Lauciūnas described working in the newly founded television studio as working "in a team of fire-fighters", due to the amount of pressure he received from being assigned difficult tasks.[13][14] He further worked in various television editorials as senior director.[10] In 1963 he acted in the film Beržai svyruokliai.[5]
Later years
Lauciūnas acted in the 1993 TV show Giminės. Lauciūnas worked as the manager of the television directors' department from 1994.
