Have You Seen The Roller?
This is the film about the efforts of a young man to prolong the existence of a dying bird species. Only a few dozen years ago the Roller was a common breeder in Europe. Today Latvia is one of the last places, where this magnificent bird can still be seen. Can we make it stay with us?
Three Men and a Fish Pond
Three elderly country bachelors idle away their time amidst the semi-wild nature, closer to birds and fish ponds than to humans.
Roof on the Moonway
This will be a vivid story about the relationships between birds and people in city. The film’s main characters are the population of Common Terns, which lives on the printing house roof of the Riga Press Building during Summer. This population is believed to be the largest of its kind in northern Europe. Is it a never-ending struggle or harmony between species, 200 pairs of Terns, or a million inhabitants, who does what to whom? During the film various human attitudes towards the birds will emerge. The attitude of the birds is clear - they view things from above.
