According to Kristīne Matīsa, a representative of the National Cinema Center, the screening of the film is ensured by the cooperation between the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Latvian Embassy in Moldova and the National Cinema Center.
The Latvian film is included in the European Culture and Film Festival “European Days in Moldova 2021”, which takes place this year from 17 May to 31 May on several Moldovan TV channels and online platforms; Latvia is one of the eight European countries participating in this festival with a film screening.
Especially for this screening, the movie “Four White Shirts” (“Four white shirts“) translated into Romanian, subtitling is provided by TVR Moldova, which is part of the Romanian television TVR media holding. Before the film screening, the Latvian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Moldova Uldis Mikuts will congratulate two of the film’s authors – director Rolandas Kalniņš (99 ) and composer Imants Kalniņš (80).
The feature film “Four White Shirts” is announced to Moldovan viewers as the first Latvian film to enter the most important area of world film history – the Cannes Film Festival’s “Cannes Classics” selection program, alongside films created by world film classics Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and others. “Four White Shirts” is one of Rolands Kalniņš’s best-known feature films, but with a complicated fate – it was shot in 1967 and fits into the prevailing modernist trends in the world, but due to its free-thinking, youthful energy and sharp irony, Latvia started a full-fledged screen life only 20 years after shooting . Until then, the film was put on the shelf and excluded from Latvian cinema processes.
The feature film “Four White Shirts” is being screened at the European Culture and Film Festival in Moldova, implementing Latvia’s centenary public diplomacy program abroad.
