Erasmus students take a trip to Sigulda

Autumn in Latvia is the perfect time for hikes, as the leaves change colour and the season for hot tea begins. Recently, we took our Erasmus+ students on a trip to Sigulda to hike through the stunning Gauja National Park. For some students, nature felt familiar, reminding them of home, while for others, it was a completely new experience. Along the way, they not only enjoyed the beautiful landscapes but also got a taste of local cuisine during lunch. Our students love discovering more about Latvia and are always eager for new trips and adventures together!

IX Baltic Sea Region Film History Conference “Exploring the Past and Future of Audiovisual Media in the Baltic Sea Region: Archives, Digital Platforms, Researchers and Spectators”

From 6-8 June 2024 at the cinema K.Suns (Elizebetes Str. 83/85) will be held the IX Baltic Sea Region Film History Conference. The conference is an annual international event that offers a platform for discussions on the past and present of film culture of the Baltic Sea Region. The first conference took place in 2014 in Tallinn, Estonia, but from 2019 the conference became mobile, now alternating between three Baltic countries. In 2024 it will return to Riga for the second time, and will be hosted by the Latvian Academy of Culture, Baltic Audiovisual Archival Council, and LAC Riga Film Museum. The IX conference will address a dual, interrelated focus: the histories of audiovisual collections within the region, and the burgeoning impact of digital technologies on facilitating access to these collections.
