On July 15th, the specialized, 14th volume of a journal “Culture Crossroads” by The Research Centre of the Latvian Academy of Culture (the LAC) has been published in a digital format (ISSN 2500-9974, http://www.culturecrossroads.lv/en/latest). In this issue are gathered articles in English as a continuation of thought-provoking discussions and studies at a conference “Poetics and Politics of History in Film and Theatre” which took place in Riga, at the LAC, from November 29 till December 1, 2018. In the conference, as well as in the journal the attention has been paid not only to the representation of the centenaries of the Baltic States in film and theatre, but also to a scrupulous analysis of interpretations and problematics of historical time, events and how these processes have shaped and influenced fates of people, as well as theatre creators and filmmakers and their artistic decisions.
