Lead actor of film "Uļa" misses Latvian premiere due to filming in Ireland
Director Viesturs Kairišs's long-awaited feature film "Uļa" had its Latvian premiere with standing ovations, but lead actor Kārlis Arnolds Avots was absent — he is in Ireland filming the Amazon Prime series "Bloodaxe".
The feature film "Uļa", directed by Viesturs Kairišs and made over several years, has finally had its premiere in Latvia. The film received standing ovations in local cinemas, with the creative team present at several special screenings.
However, Kārlis Arnolds Avots, who plays one of the lead roles, could not be found at any of the premiere screenings. It turns out the actor is currently in Ireland, where he has spent several months working intensively on the Amazon Prime series "Bloodaxe".
While Latvian audiences were able to enjoy the years-in-the-making film and meet its creative team, the actor himself was occupied with an international project abroad during this period. The success of "Uļa" in Latvian cinemas suggests the long production process has been well received by audiences, while Avots's involvement in a foreign series reflects the growing presence of Latvian actors in international productions.
