Jānis Streičs is one of the key figures in the Latvian film history. His Soviet period films (13 feature films) are distinguished by a certain visual style, as well as by technique and aesthetics of creating characters, sets and the on-screen world. The 1970s and 80s was a prolific time for the director both in terms of genres and subjects covered in his films. Films of this period serve as evidence to Jānis Streičs’ strong authorship, as well as give grounds for further research into aesthetic canons, technical possibilities and visual aesthetics of the Soviet period films.Downloads
