The cinematic series about three significant figures in Latvian theatre \u2013 directors O\u013c\u0123erts Kroders (\u201cThe Fifth Hamlet\u201d (2007), M\u0101ra \u0136imele (\u201cMara\u201d (2014), and the newest about Andris Freibergs \u2013 all investigate how loneliness, love and death weave the films\u2019 heroes\u2019 lives and art together as if it would be a tight braid. In the \u201cFairytale\u201d the accomplished European stage designer and educator paints a self-portrait by shaping the stage for an imaginary production titled Andris Freibergs. <\/em>He transforms himself into a space that contains close to eighty years worth of stunning success, tragic loss, birth and death. It is an attempt to create the perfect empty space – one that would simultaneously encompass everything and nothing, the beginning and the end. The film is produced by the Riga-based VFS FILMS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that the theatre is the final humane space where people can still learn not to be afraid of each other, trust, share, give, be genuine. The outwardly demure but extremely emotionally sensitive Andris Freibergs is the creator of many of the faces and forms of this last humane space. It is the revealing of humanity and the work of revealing which really attracts me, especially because Andris Freibergs manages it without words. How do you say what is important without telling it? The stage designer builds a space where everything has a meaning, and their relationships create new meaning. My task was to create a film somewhat analog to this space, where details lose their everyday meaning,\u201d <\/em>says the director Krista Bur\u0101ne.<\/p>\n

The music for the film was written by Reinis S\u0113j\u0101ns, who, together with the group Instrumenti, also created the soundtrack for the 2015 RIGA IFF opening film \u201cDouble Aliens\u201d while the art director Toms Bur\u0101ns, who’s animated visions are crucial to the story, collaborated with the doll designer M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Rozenfelds.<\/p>\n

Krista Bur\u0101ne who’s background is in philosophy and as well as art direction for advertising works as a director, scriptwriter, editor, photographer and educator. \u201cThe Fairytale of Empty Space\u201d is her sixth documentary film. \u201cMara\u201d from the series was nominated in 2014 for the national award \u201cLielais Kristaps\u201d in the categories \u201cBest Feature Length Documentary Film\u201d,\u00a0 \u201cBest Director of a Documentary Film\u201d and \u201cBest Composer\u201d.<\/p>\n
