IX Baltic Sea Region Film History Conference “Exploring the Past and Future of Audiovisual Media in the Baltic Sea Region: Archives, Digital Platforms, Researchers and Spectators”

From 6-8 June 2024 at the cinema K.Suns (Elizebetes Str. 83/85) will be held the IX Baltic Sea Region Film History Conference. The conference is an annual international event that offers a platform for discussions on the past and present of film culture of the Baltic Sea Region. The first conference took place in 2014 in Tallinn, Estonia, but from 2019 the conference became mobile, now alternating between three Baltic countries. In 2024 it will return to Riga for the second time, and will be hosted by the Latvian Academy of Culture, Baltic Audiovisual Archival Council, and LAC Riga Film Museum. The IX conference will address a dual, interrelated focus: the histories of audiovisual collections within the region, and the burgeoning impact of digital technologies on facilitating access to these collections.

A Letter of Solidarity for Students in Tbilisi

Dear friends, on behalf of the students of the Latvian Academy of Culture, we would like to express our deepest support to you in this tense and crucial time. Persistently standing up for your values and those of your fellow human beings can significantly impact the lives of many young people both in Sakartvelo and beyond, even if it means going against the ruling power. We admire each and every one of you who, despite the burdensome circumstances, dare not to remain silent and purposefully move the community towards joining the European Union.
