Matīss Kaža. Neiespējamais pašportrets (2026)

Step into the relentless rhythm of Matīss Kaža’s cross-continental creative odyssey. Over nearly twelve months, the Latvian artist shares a dizzying itinerary with Gints Zilbalodis, the visionary behind the globally acclaimed feature *Flow* (*Straume*). Their shared schedule traces a grueling yet exhilarating circuit through elite international film festivals, industry forums, and high-level networking events, documenting the movie’s meteoric climb toward an Academy Awards nomination. Yet this cinematic marathon represents merely one layer of Kaža’s multifaceted practice. While navigating foreign terminals and red carpets, he simultaneously launches his stagecraft career, mounting directing debuts across three distinct Riga theaters. He also reimagines Latvia’s premier entertainment galas—the Lielais Kristaps and Spēlmaņu nakts—as boundary-pushing multimedia spectacles. Captured by an intimate, roaming lens, the documentary tracks Kaža in perpetual motion, constantly developing concepts, crossing borders, and initiating fresh ventures. Through the nonstop hustle, he maintains a sharp, wry detachment, observing both his own ambitions and the broader cultural landscape with unmistakable irony.
