On Wednesday, January 10, with the screening of the legendary Charlie Chaplin film “Ramp Fire” (1952), which will be introduced by the lecture of Dita Rietumas, a film scholar and head of the National Cinema Center, the nineteenth season of the film lecture “What you should not know” will begin; it is organized by LKA Riga Cinema Museum in cooperation with “Splendid Palace” cinema. This year, the phrase “in the spotlight” was chosen as the motto of the lecture, focusing on the desirable and undesirable manifestations of fame, stage life and life as a stage.
LKA Riga Cinema Museum curator Dace Čaure says: “This year, the lecture theater will show on the cinema screen everything that is revealed in the spotlight and what remains in the shadows behind the scenes. The program will begin with a bittersweet look back at the departed through the eyes of Charlie Chaplin, continue with various relationships with fame and its demons, and end on a hopeful note with the documentary “In Search of a Musician’s Destiny.” The lecture’s six films represent different genres, manuscripts and eras: from golden Hollywood through the French New Wave to Japanese animation classics (the film “Perfectly Blue” will be shown on Latvian cinema screens for the first time), as usual, also including expressions of Latvian cinema history on the topic. Lecturers who have a special connection with the respective film or director will tell more about it before the screenings. I look forward to our meeting at the cinema!”
