Dance of Elves
“Dance of Elves” is a fantastic journey of a young girl between dreams and reality. Adrija lives in one of the peripheral areas of Latvia, called Latgale. She regularly takes the long way to the capital Riga, because it opens new opportunities for her. Adrija finds herself free, happy, overtaken by ideas and successful, because all her wishes come true – there are trips, there is a victory in Biology Olympiad, interesting meetings and many other wonderful things. But what to do when you suddenly realize that you don't know what you really want?
MANSUR’S WAR DANCE
Mansur Musaev is a 12 years old Chechen boy who has spent his childhood during the wartime and being a refugee. His health is undermined and the boy is slowly going blind. Mansur is an exceptionally talented dancer who has been dancing the Caucasian national dances since the age of a toddler. The film about Mansur is intended to be a documentary drama where talent is fighting for independence against the background of political manipulations and personal drama.
GUARD, STALIN AND PLANES
At dawn, when the guard was watching a new day to break out, some aviation fans celebrated Christmas at the old Spilve Airport... And the planes will keep flying. Yesterday, today, tomorrow... Always.
