During the week of the festival, there will be an opportunity to watch the films nominated for the award, see the premieres of new films, student films, children’s films, meet with film authors and participate in creative workshops.
On the opening day, “Splendid Palace” also hosted a screening dedicated to the winners of lifetime awards Abrams Kleckins and Mikhail Savisko. In the 1970s, both greats of the film industry formulated the wave of Latvian documentary cinema newly established in the 1960s – the Riga School of Poetic Documentary Film.
