Interactive scrollytelling
Everything, Ever
A scrollable history of the world — from the first instant to now — told as one continuous, cinematic thread.
Studio Zalktis
I weave stories across history, science, art & myth.
I'm Zintars Beldavs — I build interactive web experiences, films, and animations that connect ideas from far-apart fields into a single thread. This is a living portfolio of recent work.

About Studio Zalktis
The zalktis — the grass snake — is an ancient Latvian symbol of wisdom, protection, and the thread that connects the worlds. I weave ideas from history, science, art, and myth to create new experiences that honor the old.
I work across interactive web, film, and animation. Some pieces are large and cinematic; some are quiet experiments. They share a belief that the best way to understand the future is to tell its story well.
