Kurts Fridrihsons

Director: Dzintra Geka
LV 201886 min. 0 sec.
The significance of Kurts Fridrihsons reaches beyond the importance of his art, because during the Soviet period there were not many personalities refusing to comply with the regime while at the same time being outstanding artists. The charm and lightness that Fridrihsons preserved from pre-war civilized Europe and the free, lost Latvia was a harsh contrast to the realities of Soviet life. He was a model and inspiration for many people whose spiritual world refused to accept the existing system.  This personal Latvian writer’s Gundega Repše’s story – a documentary film directed by Dzindra Geka – is about a Latvian artist, spiritual teacher, outsider and nonconformist Kurts Fridrihsons.
