name: filmas "Ilmārs Blumbergs" treileris (2019)

overview: The story of the secret of self-creativity, the loneliness of the soul, the meridians of con-sciousness and the scope of man. Ilmārs Blumbergs (1943-2016) is a concept in life than can be classically proven if we analyze his work in set design, poster art, painting and multimedia work. The personality of Blumbergs, however is a shifting and intangible material which ensures superior value, wonderfulness and intimacy to all that he created. Those who analyze his art and world perceptions, recognize the work as seeming to come from antiquity, but it can never be catalogued or recorded in bookkeeping. How fortunate that it also cannot be consumed.

overview: Over the years, eighty-year-old Irina Pilke, nicknamed the Little Bird, has depicted the events of her life as sketches in diaries. The pages reveal the experiences of World War II, love and separation, and a subtly ironic view on the events in the Soviet Union and among its society. The Little Bird looks at the world from the viewpoint of a small creature rather than from a perspective of power and politics which may be the reason her life story seems so incredibly heartwarming, familiar, and true to the tiniest detail.

title: My Husband Andrei Sakharov

overview: Through a vast coverage of exclusive archive materials and interviews and personally narrated by his wife, Yelena Bonner, the story of the life of Andrei Sakharov, the most famous Soviet dissident, Nobel Peace Prize winner and the creator of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, is revealed.

title: Můj manžel Andrej Sacharov

overview: Andrej Sacharov byl geniální fyzik, otec ruské vodíkové bomby. Hrůzný dopad, jenž měl jeho vynález na bezpečnostní situaci tehdejšího světa rozděleného železnou oponou, jej přiměl ke stále častějším projevům svědomí a občanského postoje. Od šedesátých let byl sovětským režimem pronásledován, třebaže mu v roce 1975 byla udělena Nobelova cena míru. Po nástupu přestavby byl sice slavnostně pozván Gorbačovem do Moskvy a stal se poslancem státní dumy, leč brzy byl pro mnohé nežádoucí osobou. Na člověka připomínajícího epochu, kdy určitá skupina lidí v Sovětském svazu žila v disentu, vzpomíná jeho dlouholetá družka Jelena Bonnerová, která se Sacharovem sdílela sedmileté vyhnanství v Gorkém, izolaci od společnosti a byla mu oporou při jeho protestních hladovkách. Téměř dvacet let po jeho smrti se ve vyprávění této silné ženy i v archivních záběrech odráží osobnost intelektuála, který cítil zodpovědnost za svou dobu. Kvůli svému svědomí i přesvědčení se neváhal postavit kdykoliv na odpor.

title: Capitalism at Crossroad Street

overview: This is the 3rd film in almost 30 years about the daily lives of the people living in this small street of Pārdaugava. We first met them in the late 1980s when the Soviet Union was on the brink of collapse. We visited them again in the wild 1990s. And now we meet them in 2013, again in a whole different world.

title: Kapitālisms Šķērsielā

overview: Pagājis kārtējais desmitgadu cikls kopš iepriekšējās filmas par Šķērsielu. Tagad pasaules ekonomiskā un psiholoģiskā krīze plosa arī mazo ieliņu. Šobrīd būtu svarīgi dokumentēt konkrētu cilvēku likteņus dižķibeles laikā. Ne tikai fiksēt bēdīgu rezultātu, kā to dara vairums masu mediju, bet iedziļināties pārmaiņu norisēs kaut vai gada laikā, parādīt ne tikai slīgšanu nabadzībā, bet arī to, kā pārmaiņas ietekmē cilvēku savstarpējās attiecības. Kas tagad notiek pēc individuālisma, norobežošanās un nevienlīdzības uzplaukuma deviņdesmitajos gados, ko redzējām filmā "Jaunie laiki Šķērsielā"? Vai kopēja nelaime vēl vairāk atsvešina ļaudis vai varbūt satuvina? Ņemot vērā, ka dažu kaimiņu vidū agrāk bijuši asi konflikti, būtu naivi cerēt, ka tie šodien izzudīs. Drīzāk tie iegūs jaunu saturu vai arī piemirsīsies un aizies otrā plānā. Viens otrs jau tagad ļaunā priekā noraugās, kā bankrotē bijušie Šķērsielas bagātnieki. Toties citi, šķiet, patiesi aizmirsīs sīkās ķildas, lai kopīgi izdzīvotu.

title: Brussels

overview: In the minds of people, Brussels is no longer a geographical location; it is now a myth-surrounded centre, where decisions are made regarding future life in Europe. The most brilliant minds from the European countries have convened in Brussels: former state leaders, highly-placed officials, advisors, translators and interpreters, as well as family members of all these people. Together, they comprise a sort of separate planet ruled by special laws and using new methods of communication; it is a place of a high concentration of power and all sorts of creature comforts. The anxiety following the 2016 attacks on Brussels has taken everyone by surprise, and the question whether to stay on Planet Brussels now comes up increasingly often. The Brexit news gave completely different kind of concussion to the commonly established center of Europe.

title: The Priest

overview: "If a person doesn't go to church anymore, then the church should go to them," says Rinalds, a calm, smiling, young man with a good sense of humor. He is a priest from a small village in Latgale, Latvia's easternmost and poorest region, and the documentary Prīsters (The Priest) follows the routines of his daily life, his thoughts of life and religion and why he chose this path for himself.

title: Prīsters

overview: ‘’Ja cilvēks vairs neiet uz baznīcu, tad baznīcai jādodas pie viņa,’’ entuziastiski nosaka Rinalds, stalts, smaidīgs,  jauns vīrietis ar labu humora izjūtu. Priesteris no kāda neliela ciema Latgalē.  ‘’Prīsteris’’ ir vērojums par Rinalda un viņa šī brīža draudzes dzīvi.  Lai vai Rinalda dzīves ceļa izvēle ir netipiska mūsdienām un jauno mācītāju skaits strauji sarūk, sekojot draudzes gaitām, ir skaidrs, ka viņš ir savā īstajā vietā.  Katram draudzes loceklim, vai tas ir pensionārs, bērns vai ģimene, tiek atrasta personīga pieeja, katram ir kāds savs pienākums draudzes dzīvē, tādējādi padarot baznīcu ne tikai par reliģisku iestādi, bet arī par kultūras un sociālu centru, kur cilvēks var justies noderīgs, var tikt uzklausīts un saprasts. Šāda abpusēja priestera un draudzes simbioze ir radījusi unikālu mikropasauli, kurā valda ne tikai mīlestība pret Dievu, bet arī vienam pret otru.

Dlouhodobá nezaměstnanost a nápor přistěhovalců tu vytvořily pracovní příležitost pro „kojoty“ neboli převaděče, kteří riskují svou svobodu, aby za nevelkou odměnu dopomohli ke svobodě jiným.

overview: A wedding goes awry when the venue catches fire and the bride is dragged into the underworld. Only a kokle player is brave enough –  and musical enough – to venture there and save her.  With its mummers, imps, three-headed demon king and singing mole cricket, I Played, I Danced is a story like none other. Composed in 1977, Imants Kalniņš’s elaborate musical language is blended with Latvian folk to create a unique and moving soundworld. Leading young Latvian director Laura Groza-Ķibere and visual artist Miķelis Fišers bring out the wild energy of this opera in their new production that forces us to ask: How much should we fight the demons of the past while striving for a better future?

title: Commission

overview: The story of a film "Commission" starts in Georgia at some unknown point of time where a heroic, mythical female character has written a book which is being delivered by a courier (the artist herself) to three powerful women. The content of a book is hidden within an existing book – "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" written by Medieval Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli who dedicated the book to 12th century Queen Tamar who at the time brought prosperity and many social changes in the country. Being used as a secret shell or a reference to female power from the past, the freshly embedded content of a book serves as manifesto to the women who haven’t been equally appreciated due to history books still being written from male perspective. The book offers alternative gaze to a world history which can exist only in utopian science-fiction film commissioned and executed by females only.

title: What Silent Gerda Knows

overview: Closing day of the season in the boarding house at the Vietinghoff Palace in the province of Latvia.

The lingering summer heat drags the guests into an insane frenzy where surrealistic and grotesque situations build up an ambiguous comedy.

По правилам заведения здесь запрещено пользоваться современными средствами связи, и гости, хотя бы на время пребывания в пансионате, могут стать недосягаемыми для внешнего мира, «исчезнуть из эфира» своих повседневных отношений и обязанностей. Но над всем властвует природа: трехнедельный зной и сопутствующая ему духота угнетающе подействовали на людей, и все они оказались на грани легкого помешательства.

title: Kino un mēs

overview: Komēdija «Kino un mēs» ir mūsdienīgas formas pieteikums – filmizrāde, kurā apvienoti teātra un kino elementi. Aktieru trijotne ar komiskām un izklaidējošām ainām atklāj leģendārās Rīgas kinostudijas aizkulises, un,  izrādās, ka slavenie režisori, operatori un aktieri piedzīvojuši dažādas amizantas likstas un savstarpējus konfliktus, lai radītu tos mākslas darbus, kas tagad jau kļuvuši par plaši pazīstamu klasiku.  Keišs, Skutelis un Dombrovskis atveido režisorus, operatorus, scenāristus, kritiķus, bet visvairāk – aktierus, iejūtoties filmu «Ezera sonāte», «Mērnieku laiki» un «Dubultslazds» varoņu lomās. Kāpēc, no mūsdienu skatupunkta raugoties, padomju laiku filmās aktieri spēlē tik savādi un pat pārspīlēti? Filmizrāde piedāvās kuriozus no uzņemšanas laukumiem, mākslas padomes sēdēm, ieskatu vēstures lappusēs un kino klasikas ainu inscenējumus jaunos un negaidītos veidos.

title: Virsdiriģenti

overview: Filma ataino 1985. gada Dziesmu svētkus, centrā izvirzot koru virsdiriģentus. Lakoniskā, attēla ietilpībā balstītā īsfilma ir uzskatāms pierādījums operatora talantam radīt materiālu filmas dramaturģijai, filmējot vizuāli būtiskas izpausmes, kas režisoram vēlāk ļauj izveidot filmu bez teksta, izstāstot stāstu tikai ar Kalvja Zalcmaņa filmētiem kadriem. Tikai desmit minūtes īsajā filmā redzami visi 1985. gada svētku virsdiriģenti: Ausma Derkēvica, Imants Cepītis, Imants Kokars, Gido Kokars, Edgars Račevskis, Jānis Dūmiņš, Ilgvars Matrozis, Daumants Gailis, Pauls Kvelde, Haralds Mednis, tāpēc šī filma uztverama arī kā kultūrvēsturisks dokuments. Tomēr tieši operatora un režisora prasme ļāvusi šīs atšķirīgās personības apvienot vispārinātā Diriģenta tēlā, ko veido gan atsevišķi tverti mirkļi, gan Dziesmu svētku kulminācijā uzņemtas epizodes – tajās izpaužas katra diriģenta žesta spēks un vara pār dziedātāju tūkstošu balsīm, viņa temperaments un raksturs.

title: Neglītais pīlēns-cilvēka bērns

overview: Latvijai zīmīga filma 20. gadsimta 80. gados – sociāli aktuāls jautājums risināts mākslinieciski pārliecinošā formā, poētiski atspoguļojot filmas varoņa Mazirbes internātskolas zīmēšanas skolotāja Andra Grinberga neparastās pedagoģiskās metodes. Mazirbes speciālajā internātskolā mācās bērni "ar īpašām vajadzībām", bet nereti svarīgākā "īpašā vajadzība" viņiem ir skolotāja ieklausīšanās un uzmanība. Skolotājs Andris Grinbergs, kurš pirms un pēc Mazirbes perioda bija pazīstams kā performanču mākslinieks un viens no "hipijiem – puķu bērniem", skolēnus māca ar mākslas terapijas paņēmieniem un rosina rakstīt vēstules ābelei. Filmas scenārija autore ir publiciste Marina Kosteņecka, kura arī Mazirbes skolas pieredzē balstīja savus asi publicistiskos rakstus presē par padomju sistēmas sociālajām problēmām un ar savu sabiedrisko degsmi kļuva par redzamu Trešās Atmodas personību.
