Trailer Song is about the human need for self-sufficiency and autonomy. Absolute independence from the culture that keeps us warm and fed is a fantasy, and Trailer Song is a musically rendered version of that fantasy. The office worker buys a trailer and gives up urban life. She sings: "....With fresh butter I churn and bread that I bake, Taste it, try it. Do you see a mistake? Dandelion tea, It's so easy to brew, If you care to come here, I'd give some to you..."

Poster for Paradox of Time : Studies in Memory

2012 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Working with archival images from a key historic moment—the Iranian Revolution—the image-based study explores notions of duration (cinematic and historical), memory (virtual and image-based), and their sensory and emotional (affective) impact as historical and potentially ‘revolutionary’ themes. Repetition is explored as a principle of memory, as an aesthetic device, a space to inscribe meaning. Repetition is also explored as historical mimesis, as an eternal return, and as a possibility for reinvention. Finally, repetition is a means to question the role of agency in human nature. This image-based study is a work in progress and is carried out incrementally, whenever the need arises to examine, excavate and repeat the memory.

Poster for Katra diena simtgadē. Gadalaiki.

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film is a reflection of the Latvian people in the year of the country's centenary – viewers will easily recognize themselves and their personal stories in its scenes. Starting on New Year's Eve, January 1, when the first centenary baby, little Jete, arrives in the world to the sound of fireworks, and ending with piano music playing over a snow-covered and sunlit panorama of Latvia, the film captures the lives of hundreds of people. In addition, by filming each of the 365 days, sometimes with several cameras, and observing the processes of nature, in the countryside and in urban environments, in the lives of individuals, families and society, the cameramen have vividly captured the different facets of this story through the lens of the camera: the beautiful, the bitter, the grand, the meaningless, the comical and the absurd.

J. Čakste, G. Zemgals, A. Kviesis, K. Ulmanis. What were they like? How much did each of them manage to unite the nation, how much did they manage to oppose the oppression, greed and brutality of the giant empires surrounding our small republic as a legal entity? Did they all have personal lives? The institution of the presidency in action through the daily agenda of President Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga.
