LOVE
The 10th anniversary of Riga Pasaules Film Festival is a special opportunity to bring forward films that celebrate cinema: films that savour the medium’s mechanics and that playfully remind us of what Jonas Mekas wrote of cinema’s history, that it is the history of friends getting together, doing the thing they love.
The festival team is looking for submissions that articulate the experience of love by asking what it means to understand through love. We are interested in films that consider the significance of filmmaking from a position of love – what is implied in this position, what are its aesthetic considerations and what is the viewer’s role? We are looking for films that examine the ways in which love is experienced outside of the confines mediated by social norms. We are also interested in films that show the experience of love as an urge to create something with another and consider the filmmaking process as the development of a new awareness and a new realisation of the world, as if seeing it for the first time.
The 2023 RPFF edition will be the festival’s 10th birthday edition and is scheduled from the 27th to 30th April 2023 at Kino Bize in central Riga. The Call for Films will be open until the 18th December 2022 and the programme will be announced in March 2023.
NB: RPFF 2023 has a 3 EUR submission fee.
