Latvian director Elizabete Gricmane introduces the composer and musician Juris Kulakovs at the beginning of the film as a man who made history.

In November, the Lithuanian Film Centre and the National Pompidou Centre of Art and Culture will organise a retrospective of the works of Audrius Stonys, one of the most prominent Lithuanian documentary filmmakers, in Paris. 7-18 November, documentary film lovers will have the unique opportunity to see a major retrospective of the director's films for the first time in France. The programme includes twenty of Stonys' films covering the period from 1989 to 2018.
