Participation in film festivals
by Andris on Mar.29, 2011, under News
We have submitted our film Movements Between Moments to the East End Film Festival in the UK. We were contacted by an NGO Land In Focus, who had noticed and liked our film, and offered to enter our film in the experimental film category in the festival. We are very grateful to them for that!
We also have submitted Movements Between Moments and True Gifts to the Latvia based short film festival 2ANNAS. We’ll see how it goes.
p.s. We begin filming our feature length documentary early this April. The theme is still secret for now.
New projects and possibilities
by Andris on Feb.25, 2011, under News
Some exciting news: Our Fire Films will produce two new documentary feature films together with the studio Elm Media and Kaspars Goba. The production will begin in March 2011 and is estimated to take about 2 years.
We have also other projects in mind, in photography, cinematography and other, in light of which we’ve decided to go official and establish our own NGO to better serve our cause and to be able to attract potential donors. In the spirit of what has already been achieved the NGO will be named Our Fire, but Our Fire Films will stay as the name for our film making side of the project. Our Fire will be established just as we push through the paper work.
The Endless
by Andris on Jan.10, 2011, under Other
You were born
naked on a frozen sea,
and you sank / and I saw
to the bottom of the endless dream / the world is an endless dream.
The Endless from Andris Krastiņš on Vimeo.
A small experimental video poetry shot for the DVinfo.net charity challenge.
A person lost is searching for himself and reality is defined only by the brief perspective of the moment. Stuff usually overlooked in daily life. Every dream character is a representative of the Self. And the Self itself is also being dreamed for it is a process (psyche).
