The National Film Centre's portal filmas.lv will host its traditional online Jāņi Festival from June 19 to June 28, featuring a free selection of ten films whose music was composed by Latvian composers celebrating round anniversaries in 2026.
The National Film Centre's portal filmas.lv holds its traditional online Jāņi Festival this year from June 19 to June 28. The programme is based on a calendar of cinema history and music: in 2026, several well-known Latvian composers who have written film scores are celebrating significant anniversaries. In response, the portal has curated a special selection of ten films featuring music by these anniversary composers.
The festival is accessible free of charge at any time and from anywhere in the world. Viewers can explore films where the music was created by composers whose anniversaries are marked in 2026. This is an opportunity both to revisit Latvian cinema classics and to discover new facets of the composers' work.
