From November 18, the cinema’s repertoire will include the director Laila Pakalniņa’s latest feature film – the contemporary story of Snow White in the Mirror “Mirror”.

The action of the old fairy tale begins in the gym, where Snow White grows up, because her father is a cross-trainer, but the evil stepmother is overwhelmed with physical exercises of strength and dexterity. It is almost natural that the seven gnomes known from the fairy tale in this film are enthusiasts of various unusual sports – acrobat, park rider, weightlifter, bicycle equilibrist and others.

All these sports characters like to film selfies, thus providing the film with an extremely unusual visual image developed by the cinematographer Gints Bērziņš.

A week later, on November 26, Andrejs Ēķis’ spicy comedy “Taboo” will appear on the big screens.

This autumn, several new Latvian films have already been screened in cinemas, and their screening will continue in November. Marta Elīna Martinson’s debut film, the stylization of the teenage life of the 90’s and the welcome of “Millennium” in the comedy “Tizlenes” have earned the attention of the audience, and the dynamic western “Matisa Kaža” continues to reach the audience. Where will the road lead? ”

A special screening format has been chosen for the historical multi-series film Emilija, produced by the studio “Mistrus Media”.
