For many years, national cinema reviews have played an important part at Camerimage Festival. During this year’s edition, we would like to invite you to the Baltic Sea Region Cinema Review<\/strong>. We consider it a mandatory event for all cinephiles who admire European films, and we do hope that our initiative will bring the cinema from the Baltic region closer to the viewers from around the globe.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
To select the best representation of the Baltic films from recent years, we invited cinematography societies from eight countries – Denmark<\/strong>, Sweden<\/strong>, Finland<\/strong>, Lithuania<\/strong>, Latvia<\/strong>, Estonia<\/strong>, Germany<\/strong> and Poland<\/strong> – to work with us. Each of them selected one contemporary film production as the most interesting cinematic representative of the given country, which resulted in the line-up you can see below.<\/div>\n

A cinematic journey following the unique friendship between the Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein and the British philosopher Sir Isaiah Berlin. Escaping Riga<\/em> is looking for answers to the question of how the twentieth century impacted and changed people\u2019s lives and how dreams of life turn into deep disappointment and the crash of illusions. The protagonists of the film are philosopher Sir Isaiah Berlin and film director Sergei Eisenstein. Switching between their everyday lives, the film tells the audience about the time in which Europe changed forever. Interpretation of biographical material and film visuals that draw upon historic cinematographic techniques lets the viewer follow the protagonists’ evolution and find out why, after a meeting in 1945, Berlin rejected his previous life and withdrew to an aristocratic \u201cgolden cage\u201d and Eisenstein ended his life a broken man who had lost all faith in his own previous views and regime.<\/div>\n
