Turpinājums. Pieaugšana

In 2015, filmmaker Ivars Seleckis began his work on the documentary "To Be Continued" following five Latvian children in their first year of school. Seven years later directors Ivars Seleckis and Armands Začs revisit the protagonists who are now 14 years old. Some have grown up during these seven years, some seem to be still lingering in childhood. While for Zane the only duty at home is to tidy up her room, Anastasia has to take her little brother to the kindergarten and take care of the livestock.

Bridges of Time

The Baltic documentary cinema played an important role during Soviet time. It put its emphasis on the visuals, used metaphors where the official film language was propaganda but was at the same time poetic declarations to Life and Humanity. In this film outstanding works are presented as are their directors - personalities as they look and think decades after their masterpieces were made: Herz Frank, Uldis Brauns, Ivars Seleckis, Mark Soosaar, Andres Sööt, Robertas Verba, Henrikas Šablevičius and Aivars Freimanis.

What are the values, hopes and skills instilled into them by the legacy of the past and the reality of today?
