Riga Pasaules Film Festival 2023
From April 27 to 30
The 10th anniversary brings Love
The 10th anniversary of Riga Pasaules Film Festival is a special opportunity to bring forward films that celebrate cinema: films that savour the medium’s mechanics and that playfully remind us of what Jonas Mekas wrote of cinema’s history, that it is the history of friends getting together, doing the thing they love.
The festival programme will look into the experience of Love by asking what it means to understand through love. We are interested in films that consider the significance of filmmaking from a position of love – what is implied in this position, what are its aesthetic considerations and what is the viewer’s role?
