From March 15, Kino Bize Home Cinema’s rich selection of feature films and documentaries will be joined by works created by the Environmental Film Studio, which have gathered spectators in cinemas – “Ukrainian Sheriffs” (2015), “A Tale of Empty Space” (2017) and “Liberation Day” ). Relatively recently, in the last months before the closure of cinemas due to the state of emergency, the films “Bridges of Time” (2018) and “Wonderful Losers” (2017) were also shown in the country. The selection also includes the tension documentary “Leap” (2020), which has been screened at international film festivals.
According to the story, “Ukrainian sheriffs” take place in a remote Ukrainian village, where ducks are stolen, another is attacked by anaconda, and a man with an ax walks down the street. However, armed with shiny tokens and seized the zigzag, the local heroes Viktor and Volodya interfere with the next call. They faithfully do everything they can – dig graves, clean the chimney, settle disputes and even get drunk with their neighbors. The documentary “A Tale of Empty Space” tells the story of the outstanding European set designer and lecturer Andris Freibergs, who at the same time creates his own portrait as a scenography for the show. But the loud and courageous “Liberation Day” follows the cult cult group “Laibach” of the former Yugoslavia, which travels to isolated North Korea, becoming the first foreign rock band to perform there, thus surprising the whole world.
The home cinema offer will be complemented by “Bridges of Time” – a story about a unique phenomenon in the history of world cinema – Baltic poetic documentary cinema. In turn, the exciting adventure of cycling knights “Wonderful losers” offers an insight into the world of athletes against the background of one of the world’s most important cycling competitions, where rules that are foreign to the rest of the world prevail. The team ‘s latest film “Leap” is an incredible story about a Lithuanian Sima Kudrik, who jumped from a Soviet ship on an American ship in a thirst for freedom. But after seven hours in freedom, the Americans extradited the fugitive to the Soviet Union, causing outrage in the world’s media. Eyewitness stories, unique archive footage and Sima’s own energetic reconstructions of events turn the documentary into a real thriller.
Through the streaming platform, viewers not only get the opportunity to see high-quality films, but also provide support for both the cinema and the film studio, so that when cultural life resumes, it is still possible to gather in their favorite cinemas and enjoy high-quality films.
