On 17 October, with an eruption of creative energy and unrelenting thunder of guitar riffs, Riga International Film Festival (RIGA IFF, 17-27 October) will open with a screening of U\u0123is Olte film\u00a0TESA MAN\u00a0<\/i>(2024). The poetic music film, which will have its world premiere on the festival\u2019s opening night, in riveting musical rhythms by heavy metal trio\u00a0Tesa<\/i>\u00a0and hypnotic landscapes of Vidzeme, reveals the magical interrelation between music and nature and invites to experience the animistic spirit of the world. Tickets to the festival opening night are available on the festival website (rigaiff.lv<\/a>), and at\u00a0Bi\u013ce\u0161u Serviss<\/i>\u00a0sales points.<\/p>\n

As per tradition, RIGA IFF opens with a film made in Latvia, and in the festival\u2019s 11th edition, the honour has been bestowed on the world premiere of U\u0123is Olte film\u00a0TESA MAN<\/i>\u00a0(2024). Resembling an alchemic experiment, the synthesis of music, cinema, and nature is the result of handing over the concert venue of the heavy metal trio\u00a0Tesa\u00a0<\/i>to the terrain of the open-air art space\u00a0Savva\u013ca<\/i>, the frozen landscape of Vidzeme, and the unpredictable weather of November.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to imagine a better choice for the opening evening of RIGA IFF than this breathtaking blend of music and nature, set to celebrate its world premiere as it reverberates through the luxurious interiors of Riga\u2019s oldest cinema, the Splendid Palace. This extraordinary music film brings together a remarkable team of cinematographers, artists, and musicians, all united by the compelling vision of a passionate director. It promises to be a bright and powerful launch for the festival\u2019s eleventh edition.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
