The competition will feature the world premiere of the low budget Latvian/French coproduction 7 Billion Years Before the End of the World, the debut of director Jānis Ābele.

The festival has a strong regional footprint, with sections devoted to Latvian shorts and documentaries, Nordic films, non-competitive Baltic films, and a tribute to Ingmar Bergman. The industry programme will offer a pitching session of children’s films from the CEE and the Baltic region.
