Both architecture and cinema influence the way we perceive the spaces and places we live in. This has led to a growing interest – from viewers, directors and producers alike – in films about different environments and great architects. The subject has given rise to new thematic festivals and special film programmes around the world.
RIGA IFF presents its own vision of the symbiosis between architecture and cinema through a selection of films that will be screened inside one of Riga’s most visible architectural monuments – the National Library of Latvia.
