Laima GraždanoviÄa, our artistic director, recently visited the Kyiv International Short Film Festival. During her visit, she gave a lecture and an open discussion titled āLandscapes of the Pastā, as well as presented her curated programme āBaltic Burden: Landscapes of the Pastā, featuring Latvian short films, including "Observer" by Arnis KalniÅÅ”. Laima also joined international guests for a discussion titled āWho Gets on Screen?ā These events took place at KINO42, a cinema inside a bomb shelter, where the programme could be continued even during air-raid alerts and explosions.
KISFF this year celebrated its 15th anniversary and is the largest short film festival in Ukraine. 2ANNAS ISFF continue collaboration with our Ukrainian friends for more than 4 years and we are inspired for such an amazing edition! even though the industry events were held in KINO42, multiple screenings every day were full at Zhovten Cinema being an escape and celebration during a time of war. Opportunities to celebrate film and art are more important than ever.
Thanks Valsts kultÅ«rkapitÄla fonds for the travel support.
