6th RPFF 2019 Call For Films: The Effective Presence of the Filmmaker The RIGA PASAULES FILM FESTIVAL (RPFF) will celebrate its 6th edition with a new cycle of film screenings, workshops, a retrospective, and roundtable discussions. The film festival will take place from the 25th - 28th April at our usual venue, Kino Bize <http://www.kinobize.lv/> - located in the heart of Riga’s Art Nouveau district. The curating team for this edition of RPFF is calling for films of a broad anthropological persuasion that depict the filmmaker as a constitutive component of the film. The 2019 RPFF programme intends to profile films that acknowledge, develop, and engage with the role of the filmmaker in the content and form of the film. We seek films that indicate ways in which cinematic introspection offers insight into the broader world. The programme will highlight films that suggest that the description of a phenomenon becomes more convincing when the filmmaker elaborates on their presence and role in the filmmaking process. Our call for films is focused on narratives that attempt to understand the filmmaker as a fully realised character within the film. Some themes that we are after: - Different ways in which reflexive subjectivity is achieved in documentary cinema. - What is the value and what are the limits of introspection? - What are the narrative, ethical, and cinematic considerations at stake when the filmmaker develops his/her presence?
