Original title (Latvian): Ausma

2015 | Full length feature, Feature film | Director: Laila Pakalniņa

Has betrayal in Soviet time become an act of heroism of modern times?

This film is based on a Soviet propaganda story (most likely false) about “Young Pioneer” (Soviet equivalent to the "Boy Scout") Morozov who denounced his father to Stalin’s secret police and was in turn killed by his family. His life exemplified the duty of all good Soviet citizens to become informers, even at the expense of family ties. In the Soviet Union this story was a subject of many books, songs, plays, a symphonic poem, opera and also the basis of Bezhin Meadow, an unreleased film from 1937 that was directed by Sergei Eisenstein. In our film 75 years later we ...

Time

Original title: Aeg

1983 | Overviews, Other categories, Experimental, Documentary | Director: Mark Soosaar

Mark Soosaar contemplates the passage of time in our lives.

Mark Soosaar made images of life move in fast motion. Hurrying people have been filmed in fast motion, the frames are mingled with more peaceful and better observable images of nature also filmed in fast motion. This contradiction clearly expresses the abyss between the man and eternal nature. Nature becomes sublime, the human being becomes an ant. However, human creation becomes monumental. Time won't move and always stays the same. TIme passes by and we are hurrying through time.
