You are welcome to Riga Film Museum in Old Riga before it is moving to new premises in the Autumn!
There are currently several exhibitions to see in the Museum. The permanent exhibition “Behind the Screen” invites one to come to the other side of the screen. The mini-exhibition “Secrets of Ada Neretniece” (film director Ada Neretniece 100) was created in honor of film director Ada Neretniece. In her more than forty-year career, the director has made 18 full-length feature films (including the film “Pieviltie”, 1961, together with co-director Māris Rudzītis) and one short feature film, but she started her directing career by creating newsreels (more than 40 from 1949-1962), also filmed documentaries and so called commissioned films. The mini-exhibition presents photos from the filming and personal archive. The exhibition also includes documents that were an important part of the bureaucracy of the Soviet regime, such as diplomas, letters of appreciation, characteristics, autobiography, etc.
The exhibition “Ieva’s Room” is an improvised insight into the main arcs of the life of film artist Ieva Romanova. Here one can get to know about Romanova’s work at the film artistic space (Ieva Romanova is an artist for such films as Aveņu vīns (1984), Dzīvīte (1989), Bille (2018)), get acquainted with her work in the Latvian Cinematographers Union and as a museum artist – especially with Latvian exhibitions of the Riga Film Museum, dedicated to the history of cinema.
See you in the Museum (entrance from Alksnāja Street)!
