Riga Pasaules Film Festival 2021: Anthropological Time

Call For Films

The curating team of the Riga Pasaules Film Festival (RPFF) is calling for submissions that address cinema’s relationship to the temporal experience. We are looking for works of a broad anthropological persuasion that, through their content and form, consider ways in which imaginaries and practices of time are rendered and generated through cinema. For example, we are interested in works that represent time-based events; that generate their own temporal signatures; and offer a creative take on different temporal perspectives.

We are interested in films that represent temporal imaginings. For example, films whose plot addresses the tensions between continuity and change, ideas on the past and the future, and the politics of time. We also wish to review films that develop a perspective on cinematic-time, the experience of time as it is generated through the cinematic medium. Films that, for example, foreground duration, rhythm, and pace.

    A wonderfully organised and curated film festival on a fascinating theme. Communications were excellent from beginning to end. Sadly, because of Corona, I could not be there in person. But I will go as soon as it is possible. I had one of the most interesting Q and A experiences ever.
