The First Bridge (Pirmais tilts), dir. Laila Pakalniņa, 12′, Latvia, 2020
Krāslava bridge is the first bridge over the river Daugava in the territory of Latvia – gate for the Daugava river from Belarus to Latvia.
Every film is about time, but ours maybe a bit more than every as it was shot on Kodak Eastman Plus-X Negative Film 5231, acquired in the year 1997 and discovered intact in 2018. So we are dedicating THE FIRST BRIDGE to Film stock.
