The studio Studija Kokles was founded in 2019 by art historian Sniedze Kāle as a family-based initiative and is creatively led by director and artist Kārlis Vītols. Dedicated to artistic freedom and the support of emerging talent, the studio is currently producing Vītols’ animated feature The Northern Star and Ella Mežule’s debut short The Nature of Tide. The studio focuses on family-friendly films that celebrate cultural and historical diversity, combined with a distinctive and sophisticated visual style. Specializing in 2D animation and collaborating with experienced animators, Studija Kokles is an ideal partner for artistic co-production projects and related service work.
