title: Dzimuši Sibīrijā. Mārtiņš Vilsons

overview: The years 1941 and 1949 became a fateful turning point for thousands of Latvians who were taken away without warning to an unknown destination. In a foreign land and harsh conditions, they tried to preserve their humanity, create a new life, and raise their children. These children grew up far from their homeland, in a foreign environment where they felt like outsiders. They learned a foreign language, lived among strangers, and asked questions that even adults were afraid to answer. One of these children is actor Mārtiņš Vilsons, who was born in exile in the Magadan region of Russia to the family of Zenta Vilsone and Rolands Čehovičs. In this documentary, director Dzintra Geka portrays his life story as a personal testimony to the fate of the exiled Latvians, their search for identity, and their return to a contradictory reality.

title: Dzimuši Sibīrijā. Mārtiņš Vilsons

overview: 1941. un 1949. gads kļuva par liktenīgu pavērsienu tūkstošiem latviešu, kurus bez brīdinājuma aizveda nezināmā virzienā. Svešumā un skarbos apstākļos viņi centās saglabāt cilvēcību, radīt jaunu dzīvi un audzināt bērnus. Šie bērni uzauga tālu prom no dzimtenes, svešā vidē, kurā viņi jutās nepiederīgi. Viņi apguva svešu valodu, dzīvoja starp svešiniekiem un uzdeva jautājumus, uz kuriem pat pieaugušie baidījās atbildēt.  Viens no šiem bērniem ir aktieris Mārtiņš Vilsons, kurš dzimis izsūtījumā Magadanas apgabalā Krievijā Zentas Vilsones un Rolanda Čehoviča ģimenē. Dokumentālajā filmā režisore Dzintra Geka portretē viņa dzīvesstāstu kā personīgu liecību par izsūtīto latviešu likteni, identitātes meklējumiem un atgriešanos pretrunīgajā realitātē.

And it would only take one… Airport wildlife control employee Mareks would like to go to church and light a candle for luck before he goes to work every day. In fact, all of us need that luck – it’s just that we’re not aware of it. Maybe that’s a good thing. Understanding wildlife that might turn up at the airport and making sure that the paths of birds, animals and airplanes don’t cross is a very real job.

title: Death of Death

name: Death of Death / Trailer / 29th Ji.hlava IDFF

overview: Death as non-existence, non-being, or the absence of life has been a subject of human interest for millennia. Poets, philosophers, prophets, and hermits have now been replaced by filmmakers, influencers, cryonicists, and evolutionary biologists in the search for the quintessence of life and death. Zoltan Istvan runs a cryonics laboratory and is running for president of the United States with the demand that immortality be included among fundamental human rights. In Russia, a mass festival dedicated to the cult of death is traditionally held. Dāvis Sīmanis' film essay reveals the twists and turns of man's age-old desire for eternal life. It uncovers the metaphorical and fetishistic representations of death and the mechanisms by which we come to terms with our own mortality.

overview: The 20th century dreamt of utopia but instead experienced tragedies. This film looks at San Francisco-based Latvian artist and playwright Raimonds Staprāns’ nearly century-long experience of trying to define life and statehood. It constructs an exact replica of one of his paintings, and asks actors to portray characters from his plays. Keeping in mind the symbolically charged image of the red barn in the painting, it deliberately incites arguments between the actors, the director and the crew about the motivations of the characters as well as alternative actions or decisions that they could have taken but did not.

overview: Young flutist and conductor Maija's secret dream has come true—she has been entrusted with conducting her first orchestra. However, Maija's inner insecurity and fear of conflict do not help her cope with the energetic youth orchestra. In addition, the overly cheerful choirmaster Kārlis, in his attempts to help the young conductor, only undermines her already non-existent authority. When Maija remembers the legendary conductor Leonīds Vīgners and his authoritative leadership style, she feels a strange inspiration. The changes in the young conductor's personality surprise both her and her orchestra, which has only three rehearsals left before the concert. Maija must decide how to lead her orchestra to the concert - in the style of Leonīds Vīgners, or in her own?

Turklāt pārlieku priecīgais kormeistars Kārlis, mēģinot jaunajai dirģentei palīdzēt, tikai grauj viņas tā jau neeksistējošo autoritāti.  Kad Maija atceras leģendāro diriģentu Leonīdu Vīgneru un viņa autoritatīvo vadības stilu, viņa sajūt dīvainu iedvesmu. Jaunās diriģentes personības izmaiņas pārsteidz gan viņu pašu, gan viņas orķestri, kuram līdz skatei atlikuši vien trīs mēģinājumi. Maijai ir jāizlemj, kā savu orķestri aizvest līdz skatei - Leonīda Vīgnera stilā, vai savējā?

title: Kultūras pils

overview: The State Electrotechnical Factory's cultural palace, or vefiņš, was opened on March 1, 1960, and was allocated for the factory's needs. However, today science has been banished from these walls. Alongside the brightest local pop artists, countless feet and legs dressed in pastels tread the boards of this stage every year to determine which group will take center stage at the Daugava Stadium during the Song and Dance Festival. Meanwhile, the young, promising and provocative documentary filmmaker Ingmārs Somis has come here to make a film about the "other side" of folk dancing on stage - about nationalistic programming, worn-out feet, sunburn and blouses tucked into underpants. He has decided to expose the teachers, lecture the parents, liberate the dancers, destroy the VEF cultural palace, get hold of the Great Kristaps and enter the Latvian cultural canon.

title: Kultūras pils

overview: Valsts Elektrotehniskās fabrikas kultūras pils jeb vefiņš ir  atklāts 1960. gada 1. martā un tika atvēlēts rūpnīcas vajadzībām. Taču mūsdienās no šīm sienām zinātne ir izmēzta. Blakus spožākajiem pašmāju estrādes māksliniekiem šīs skatuves dēļus ik gadu min neskaitāmas pastalās tērptas kājas un kājeles, lai noskaidrotu, kurš kolektīvs Dziesmu un Deju svētku laikā ieņems centrālās vietas Daugavas stadionā.  Savukārt jaunais, daudzsološais un provokatīvais dokumentālists Ingmārs Somis šeit ir ieradies, lai uzņemtu filmu par skatuviskās tautas dejas “otru pusi” - par nacionālpatriotisko programmēšanu, par noberztām kājām, saulesdūrienu un apakšbiksēs sabāztām blūzēm. Viņš ir nolēmis atmaskot skolotājus, pārmācīt vecākus, atbrīvot dejotājus, izmēzt VEF kultūras pili, dabūt Lielo Kristapu un nokļūt Latvijas Kultūras kanonā.

overview: It is a hot summer day and the Song Festival rehearsal is underway for the kokle ensemble. The exhausting rehearsal is enlivened by the arrival of percussionist Reinis. The ensemble's soloist Zane feels that this fateful encounter strikes not only the strings of the kokle, but also the strings of her heart. After the rehearsal, at the school where everyone is staying overnight, Zane realizes that her instrument is missing. It is the eve of the concert, and in the morning they must go to the final grand concert. She asks Reinis for help, as he is the last person to have seen the instrument. As the two wander through the school's dark corridors, it begins to seem that perhaps they will find more than just the lost kokle.

overview: Ir karsta vasaras diena un Dziesmu svētku mēģinājums kokļu kolektīvā. Nogurdinošo mēģinājuma gaitu atdzīvina perkusionista Reiņa pievienošanās. Ansambļa solistei Zanei šķiet, ka šī liktenīgā sastapšanās liek ietrīsēties ne tikai kokles, bet arī viņas sirds stīgām. Pēc mēģinājuma, skolā, kur visi paliek pa nakti, Zane atskārš, ka pazudis viņas instruments. Tas ir koncerta priekšvakars un jau no rīta jādodas uz noslēguma lielkoncertu. Viņa aicina palīgā Reini, jo tieši viņš ir pēdājais, kurš instrumentu redzējis. Abiem klīstot pa skolas naksnīgajiem gaiteņiem sāk šķist, ka varbūt šeit iespējams atrast pat ko vairāk par pazaudēto kokli.

To put ‘now’ into gear, you need either terrible trouble or terrible energy. ‘TAGAD’ is a reminder that waiting for something can make you late, but the right moment is just that kind of joke. This is a show about this era, about people and current events,” says Rūdolfs.

Tas ir stāsts par cilvēkmīlestību un drosmi laikā, kad ordeņu vietā drīzāka samaksa varēja būt nāve.

title: All Birds Sing Beautifully

name: ALL BIRDS SING BEAUTIFULLY Trailer | RIGA IFF 2025

overview: In the beginning there was the forest. Then came the live performance, and then the film. The yellow wagtail, Eurasian skylark, white-backed woodpecker, corncrake and hazel grouse have not only gotten their voices back, but have taken on human form — clad in elegant tailcoats and bearing names — to recount ancient tales. Through the interplay of theatrical metamorphoses and the creative team’s reflections on nature and relationships, a field of meaning unfolds, vaster than any single spectator. Where ends the self, and where begin the wings of birds and the branches of trees? Can culture, standing on the shoulders of nature, also nurture it? Or will it merely glisten in the light like a sawblade?

Kas ir putns latvietim: mitoloģisks simbols, dzīva būtne, daļa no floras vai performants, kas čivina par saviem brāļiem? Vai kulturālais sadzīvo ar dabisko? Un kam galu galā pieder putni?

title: Maratonu rokzvaigzne

overview: On April 6, 2025, Samanta Petakova finished her 300th marathon in Krakow, Poland. This medal earned the marathon runner the title of Latvian record holder, but the road to the record was not strewn with roses. Samanta's mother left her when she was six years old, and her father passed away two years ago. The marathon runner's life has been full of trials and tribulations, but at the same time, she is proof that a person who is seen at the top of the mountain did not fall there. Samanta's story confirms that challenges in life are not a stamp in your passport. This story is about big goals, high stakes, determination, perseverance, and the fulfillment of seemingly impossible dreams. It will inspire anyone who is faced with a choice—to do or not to do. It is a reminder to everyone that with faith in yourself, you can do great things.

title: Maratonu rokzvaigzne

overview: 2025. gada 6.aprīlī Polijā, Krakovā Samanta Petakova finišēja savu 300. maratonu. Šī medaļa atnesa maratonistei Latvijas rekordistes titulu, taču ceļš līdz rekordam nebūt nav rozēm izkaisīts. Sešu gadu vecumā Samantu pameta mamma, pirms diviem gadiem viņsaulē devās tētis. Pārdzīvojumi un dzīves likstas maratonistes liktens zvaigznājā nav trūcis, taču tajā pašā laikā, viņa ir pierādījums tam, ka cilvēks, kurš redzams kalna virsotnē, tur neuzkrita. Samanta ar savu stāstu apliecina, ka izaicinājumi dzīvē nav zīmogs pasē. Šis stāsts ir par lieliem mērķiem, augstām likmēm, apņēmību, neatlaidību, šķietami neiespējamu sapņu piepildīšanu. Tas iedvesmos ikvienu, kurš stāv izvēles priekšā - darīt vai nedarīt. Tas ir atgādinājums katram - ar ticību sev var darīt lielas lietas.

title: Frog Safari

overview: Over the past year, three young scientists have found unusual colored frogs in the wild in Latvia that are not typical for our region. A green frog with unusual orange and black coloring—seen for the first time—as well as a strange red frog. Scientists are trying to determine the cause – whether these are "natural errors" in a few specimens, or whether the entire frog population is affected – with environmental pollution being cited as one of the reasons. In a parallel story the scientists are conducting research on the restored tree frog population, observing the results of a project implemented in the 1990s – at that time, the extinct tree frog species was successfully restored and is once again found on the Kurzeme coast.

title: Tas pats es. Gustavo

overview: The story of one of the founders of Latvian hip hop – Gustavo and his endless pursuit of excellence in everything he does. From his first steps in the rap group "Fact" to his long-term work on his solo album "Beidzot!" (Finally!). The road to the top has been full of challenges and at times seemed impossible. It is precisely this perfectionism that drives Gustavo forward, allowing him not only to establish himself among the Latvian rap elite, but also to transcend the boundaries of the genre, constantly searching for new forms of expression. However, this pursuit has not come without sacrifice. Behind his success lie personal sacrifices and internal struggles.

title: Tas pats es. Gustavo

overview: Filma vēsta par vienu no Latvijas hiphopa pamatlicējiem – Gustavo un viņa nebeidzamo tieksmi pēc izcilības it visā, ko viņš dara. No pirmajiem soļiem repa grupā "Fact" līdz ilgstošajam darbam pie soloalbuma "Beidzot!". Ceļš uz virsotni bijis izaicinājumu pilns un reizēm šķitis pat neiespējams. Tieši šis perfekcionisms, kas virza Gustavo uz priekšu, ļāvis viņam ne vien nostiprināties Latvijas repa elitē, bet arī pārsniegt žanra robežas, meklējot arvien jaunus izteiksmes veidus. Taču šī tiekšanās nav nākusi bez upuriem. Aiz panākumiem slēpjas arī personiski upuri un iekšējas cīņas.

title: Džemmas laiki

overview: Šo filmu var saukt arī vienkārši par sarunu, kur sarunu biedrs ir tik spilgts un izteiksmīgs, ka viss pārējais ir tikai vizuāls papildinājums vai laika zīme tiem, kuri to nav pieredzējuši.  Džemma Skulme (1925-2019) savā garajā mūžā piedzīvojusi daudz un dažādus laikus, un sarunā atklājās, kā laiks un notikumi ir ietekmējuši šī radošā cilvēka mūžu.
