*FEEL FREE TO CIRCULATE*

Dear friends & colleagues,

The Riga Pasaules Film Festival team is happy to announce the opening of
submissions for the next edition of the festival. The festival will be held
in Riga's Kino Bize <http://www.kinobize.lv/eng/> from 28-30th April 2017.

Just like in previous editions, this year's festival will offer special
events like workshops and lectures as well as the thematic film programme.

This year's theme is "Revealing the Unexpected: What do filmmakers do for
the unexpected to occur?".

We are interested in featuring non-fiction films, of a broad ethnographic
persuasion, that contain within their narrative or form, the unforeseen
dynamics at play in documentary production. This year's programme intends
to contribute to a cinematic discourse and practise that values the
creative potential of happenstance, discovery, and surprise as central
aspects of cinematic forms. The festival screenings, special events, and
Q&As will pay attention to the different directing and narrative strategies
that filmmakers rely on to share with the audience the improvised,
serendipitous, and surprising discoveries that are made possible through
the filmmaking process.

In order to submit your entry, please consider the following:

1. Deadline for film submissions is *15th February 2017.*

2. Submissions must be sent to [log in to unmask]

3. Please include:

     - A link to the completed film and password. Submissions that are not
