Brainstorm is the best-known Latvian band in Europe. They started out 25 years ago, when most of them were in the same class at school. That was the time when people in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia joined hands to create the Baltic Way, and the fall of the Berlin Wall became a symbol of the hunger for freedom. The young men listened to U2, the Scorpions and Roxette and dreamed of becoming famous. Now Brainstorm is famous in Russia as well. The musicians are Latvians who live in Latvia, but they reap profits in Russia. Brainstorm has experienced the most interesting and intense period of modern European history. This period has also been a dramatic time for the band itself.

David and Goliath

During  Latvia’s  centennial  year,  15  filmmakers  created  each  his  own  film  portrait  of  a  person  living  in  Latvia  on  the  background  of  centenary  events.  Documentary  2018  combines  these  stories  into  a  unique  poetic  vision  based  on  analogy  with  the  documentary  235  000  000,  a  classic  of  the  Riga  school  of  poetic  documentary  cinema.  This  film  is  an  attempt to make sure whether the codes of the poetic cinema are still relevant and accessible today.
