CFF: Riga Pasaules Film Festival

Dear friends and colleagues,


The Riga Pasaules Film Festival team is calling for film submissions for
its 2022 edition.


See general information below:


Healing



If the documentary’s vocation towards the truth is not merely to represent
it, but in engaging the viewer beyond the film frame, what formal
strategies make such endeavours fruitful?

The curating team of the 2022 Riga Pasaules Film Festival is calling for
submissions that address healing.

We are interested in curating a film programme that deals with experiences
of reconnection and renewal, and focuses on the transformative capacity of
cinema and to the ways in which film-making encourages practices of
commensality. Our approach is informed by traditions that consider healing
as an individual and collective process that seeks to re-establish severed
attachments. We welcome cinematic stories about cooperation, resilience,
regained agency, decolonial practices, processes of political
reconciliation and forgiveness.

We are also interested in submissions in which the healing process is an
integral part of film-making through, for example, re-enactments,
interventions and other performative engagements. Healing, in this
instance, speaks to the intimate constellation of performative, physical,
and discursive practises that expand onto social, political, and economic
spheres.

The 2022 RPFF edition will be the festival’s 9th edition and is scheduled
from the 28th April to 1st May 2022 at Kino Bize in central Riga. The Call
for Films will be open until the 19th December 2021 and the programme will
be announced in April 2022.
