Ministry of Foreign affairs of Latvia

Baltic Film Festival opens in Canada

On 9 March 2006, the screening of Latvian films will mark the opening of the 6th Baltic Film Festival in Ottawa, the capital of Canada. From 9 to 11 March, viewers from Ottawa and other Canadian cities will be able to acquaint themselves with the different genres of film from Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Visitors to the festival will also have the opportunity to attend an exhibition organised by the Latvian Embassy in Canada and to learn about tourism opportunities in Latvia.

The idea of holding a Baltic Film Festival came from Andris Kesteris, a Latvian living in Canada. The Film Festival is organised by the Canadian Film Institute in association with the Baltic embassies in Canada and the Latvian Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration.
