Ilmars Blumbergs

Ilmārs Blumbergs

Ilmārs Blumbergs (1943-2016) is a concept in life than can be classically proven if we analyze his work in set design, poster art, painting and multimedia work. The personality of Blumbergs, however is a shifting and intangible material which ensures superior value, wonderfulness and intimacy to all that he created. Those who analyze his art and world perceptions, recognize the work as seeming to come from antiquity, but it can never be catalogued or recorded in bookkeeping. How fortunate that it also cannot be consumed. Movie in Latvian with subtitles in English.

Kurts Fridrihsons

The significance of Kurts Fridrihsons reaches beyond the importance of his art. The charm and lightness that he preserved from pre-war civilized Europe and free, lost Latvia was a harsh contrast to the realities of Soviet life. He was a model and inspiration for many people whose spiritual world refused to accept the existing system. The greater the distance between Fridrihsons' lifetime and the present day, the more diversely and clearly we see the aloof and exceptional power of his personality. Movie in Latvian with subtitles in Latvian.

Towards the end of World War II, when it became clear that Latvia would be occupied by the Soviet Army again, about 150,000 people fled to Germany. Latvians tried to establish “Little Latvia” at displaced persons camps for themselves as refugees. Settling in Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia, "Little Latvia" helped. But when Latvia regained its independence, many of them could not return, having set roots elsewhere. Directed by Dzintra Geka, producer Dzintra Geka Studija SB

Gvido Zvaigzne

In January 2011, Latvia commemorated the 20th anniversary of the tragic events of January 1991, also a time when the cameraman Gvido Zvaigzne got fatally injured and died two weeks later. The cinematographer of Juris Podnieks’ documentary Soviets (1989), the portrait of the collapse of the Soviet Empire, he was a young man whose talent had not yet fully flourished. His story, however, contains elements which make it possible to demonstrate not only his personal tragedy, but also the problematic existence of a young and creative person during an era in which everything was crumbling around him.
