In the west of London, where many famous films and television programs were shot in the last century, a modern art center has been set up, where concerts, theatrical performances and exhibitions are held. Also the Baltic Film Festivalwhere each country is represented by two specially selected films, taking into account both the general atmosphere of the festival and the tastes of the British public.
“To show our talent, that Latvia and the Baltic countries offer excellent Northern European cinema. These films have been rated very high internationally, they have literally been filmed in international festivals. The film” Sisters “has already won two awards in Warsaw, this is just the beginning, “said Artūrs Saburov, the third secretary of the Latvian Embassy in the UK.
The organizers of the festival want to show the Baltic countries as a place where there are excellent directors, directors, producers, actors and film specialists who can also help other international partners to shoot and make films in Latvia.
“Personally I don’t think Baltic cinema is particularly different from, for example, Finnish or German or American independent cinema. I believe in directors. It matters what the director wants to say and it doesn’t matter where he comes from,” said Kadri Kousara, director Estonian from the film “Deserted”.
In addition to the screening of the films, there are also meetings with their creators, where the public has the opportunity to ask questions.
Unfortunately, representatives of Latvian cinema were unable to come to the opening of the festival, as flights were severely delayed.
