The SHORT RIGA Baltic Music Video<\/a> (BMV<\/i>) Competition and Party will mark the festival\u2019s second and last Friday evening. This event of the year for music video creators from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia will take place at Villa C.C. fon Stritzky, where the works will be screened in their most fitting format. The competition screenings will take place in an informal party atmosphere with the filmmakers and musicians in the audience; afterwards, the party will hit full throttle as DJs from Riga, Moscow and Amsterdam spin tunes until dawn.<\/p>\n

The evening will start at 20:00 as the works selected for the BMV Competition demonstrate that the music video is a powerful short format in its own right. The programme\u2019s curators spent a whole year searching for works that challenge audiences by extending the accepted boundaries of the music video format, content, and even art in general \u2013 and now they are ready to present what they\u2019ve found. An integral part of the evening will be the meet and greet with music video makers, musicians, curators, and the competition\u2019s international jury.<\/p>\n

As soon as the screening finishes, the lights will go dim and the dance floor will open to the evening\u2019s performers and you \u2013 our guests.<\/p>\n

Art\u016brs Liepi\u0146\u0161<\/strong> (Riga)
\n\"\"As a DJ, Art\u016brs rarely plays music created by others because he spends most of his time composing original works. He has been part of the projects Dun Dun and ELVI\/DUNIAN, has written music for the films Paradise 89, All My Friends are Dead<\/a> and Fabula<\/a>, and is working on creating the audiovisual identity of RIGA IFF. He is currently working on the project Domenique Dumont<\/a>, a collaboration with a mysterious French artist that begun in 2013. The music of Domenique Dumont has been released by the record labels Antinote, International Feel and Record Makers, and has attracted the attention of various international media outlets (Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, NME). Domenique Dumont\u2019s music has also been featured at a number of festivals and on international broadcasts, including BBC Radio, NTS, Radio Nova, and FIP FM.
\nAs Liepi\u0146\u0161 himself says: \u2018I\u2019ll be playing a variety of both contemporary and 20th-century music that has been either ripped from dusty hard drives and flash drives, has been mailed to me, I\u2019ve found on the street in other countries, or has been recommended to me by friends or algorithms.\u2019<\/p>\n

JAVYBZ<\/strong> (Moscow)
\n\"\"Javybz (Anya Karmanova and Julia Rodionova) is a Moscow-based duo. They are also residents at the London radio station NTS, where they host the monthly show \u00a0All Styles All Smiles<\/a>.

\nBoth artists focus on rare grooves, classics, new productions and obscurities with a worldwide perspective. Together and independently they’ve been involved in various music projects such as organising parties and vinyl markets, curating festivals, and curating music for an exhibition at the Tate Modern.<\/p>\n

JEN Z<\/strong> (Amsterdam)
\n\"\"JEN Z, aka \u017danete Skarule, has a master\u2019s degree in Film\/Video from the California Institute of Arts (CalArts) and is an experienced director who made her debut at RIGA IFF in 2017 with the film Flying Monks Temple and the project Sound We See: Riga.
