2ANNAS

Riga International Short Film Festival.

About

This annual independent festival dedicated to seeking out and presenting innovative modes of visual communication exists in a context in which short film is not merely a step to the first feature, but can be viewed as an authentic work of art.

In its programmes the festival seeks for the innovative, experimental, unseen or long-forgotten in the film world. And when selecting films for the competition programmes the festival searches for works with an individual and unique signature, creativity, aesthetic and technical performance corresponding to the artistic idea.
