Before the Light
Co-Producer
Emotionally charged story about three women standing against male dominated church preventing them from following their calling to serve God and their communities. Protestan female ministers who wish to serve God, the Church and people as pastors in today’s Latvia can only do that under the wing of foreign churches. Latvia is the only country in the world whose official Lutheran church has banned ordination of women after successfully practicing it for two decades. While some of the women ministers, refusing to accept this, leave the country to build lives as fully-fledged pastors elsewhere in the world, others carry on serving as second-rate assistants or other church workers. However, today there are female theologians who are ready to fight for a future in more equal society thus ending the discrimination based on ‘other sex’ or ‘wrong’ gender. The road towards changes leads through frustrations, confidence and doubts, obedience and rebellion.

Pulling back the curtain on the shady behind-the-scenes world of the Cold War, this film tells a daughter's dramatic story of her double-agent father, exploring their relationship against the backdrop of events which have their roots over four decades ago. In order to find herself and understand the game she was part of, Ieva sets out on a journey to the past, confronting family secrets, lies and betrayal.

Отец Ночь
Producer
То, что Жанис Липке станет героем, не мог представить никто. Днём он работал на складах люфтваффе, а по ночам перевозил контрабанду. Когда нацисты стали истреблять жителей Риги, он принял решение, которое могло оказаться роковым не только для него самого, но и для его жены и маленького сына. Буквально на глазах немецкой охраны он вывел из гетто более 50 человек. Убежище для спасенных Жанис оборудовал в своем собственном доме. Что было секретом самоотверженности Жаниса Липке — азарт, авантюризм, упрямство или просто способность в нечеловеческих условиях сохранять человечность?
