Latvian Film Day in Rezekne

Movie theatre “Silverscreen” invites to a movie “Brain Storm: Between the Shores” screening on November 1st at 19.00. The movie is a documental story about four friends. A story about four different schoolmates, that are still similar in their hearts. They all were born in mid-70’s, grew up with the Soviet animated movies and empty store shelfs. They were the ones creating the music band “Brain Storm” on the eve of our countrie’s independence. For the very first time, the band will openly tell about the time spent together and the moments of joy. About the West and East. This will be an opportunity to participate in the work process of their most recent music album production in Berlin, as well as see the historic scenes from archives. The movie is the story about “Brain Storm” and our countrie’s road of development. About the spite and not giving up. About persistence, fall and rise. The movie is in Latvian with the subtitles in Russian.
