LATVIANS?!
Latvieši?!
Director: Genādijs Zemels
Latvia | 1989
Drama | 89’
It’s the 1980’s and the Lāču family suffers as they say their goodbyes to Dzintars who died in the Afghan war. Dzintars’ father, wife (now widow), and older brother sit at a table and reminisce about the various historical events their family has gone through.
2ANNAS “Latvian Wanderers” programme includes two feature films that were made within 20 years of one another and that show two completely different perspectives on Latvian migration history. In each of their own undeniably artistic ways and despite being made 20 years apart, both talk about “Latvian wanderers,” perhaps the most relevant subject of discussion in Latvian society both then and now.
Curator: Kristīne Matīsa
