The Loop (34 min)

Two generations. Two artists. Ozols – a veteran of hip-hop. Fiņķis – a newcomer. The first one, once a domestic superstar, now, nearly for a decade, regards his music only as a hobby. The second one - taking his first steps to become the next genre icon.

The Train Stops at 20:14 (26 min)

A story about a train that reflects the path of life on which each of us has at one time felt lonely, as well experienced friendship and love. On board, the announcement over the PA system outlines the rules, and then a reminder that the train won’t be stopping. Do we hurtle through life without making any stops? What are we thinking? We all know that the moment will come when our train pulls to a stop, but not how and when, and what happens then.

Directed by Daina Zviedre, producer Roberts Vinovskis
