Abstract:
A total of 25 DVD discs have been thematically arranged to present 70 films of various lengths and genres (10 feature films, 16 documentaries and 44 animation films) that portray the most poignant and characteristic pages of Latvian film from yesteryear to the present day. This collection speaks the language of feelings, demonstrating the mentality of the Latvian people through its intangible nuances.
The Latvian Film Collection is the first presentation of Latvian films in DVD format on such a large scale. The compilers of the collection hope to spark local interest in discovering Latvian films, and to also make these films available for international viewers.
