🏆 Tīri kvīrs konkursa programmā “Kvīro Annu” iegūst īsfilma “Tīrība” (2025), ko režisējis Andrejs Brīvulis.

Savukārt, īpašu atzinību iegūst “Stāsts” (2025), ko režisējis Vadims Močalovs.

Kā vēsta viens no žūrijas pārstāvjiem: “Mūs pārsteidza programmas pievēršanās niansēm, ne grandiozitātei. Andreja Brīvuļa “Tīrība” izcēļas ar poētisku minimālismu, savukārt Vadima Močalova “Stāsts” atgādina, ka kvīra intimitāte un personīgi naratīvi joprojām ir izteikti politiski, it īpaši šajā nestabilajā laikā. Lai gan abās apbalvotajās filmās galvenie varoņi ir homoseksuāli vīrieši, filmu emocionālais kodols sniedzas pāri dzimuma robežām un runā ievainojamības un vajadzības tikt pamanītam valodā, ko saprot ikviens. Vienlaicīgi filmas uzsver , cik svarīgi ir radīt plašāku vidi, lai uz ekrāna parādītos iekļaujošāks kvīro pieredžu un identitāšu spektrs.”

Šogad “Tīri kvīrs” izcēlās ar īpaši piesātinātu programmu un atklāja pirmo “Kvīro Annu” - balvu, kas pasniegta labākajai kvīru īsfilmai no Centrāleiropas un Austrumeiropas. 🎬

🏆 The “Queer Anna” prize is awarded to “Cleanliness” (2024) directed by Andrejs Brīvulis.

The special nomination goes to “The Story” (2025) by Vadim Mochalov.

As one of the jury states: “We were impressed by the programme’s focus on nuance over spectacle. Cleanliness by Andrejs Brīvulis stood out for its poetic minimalism and precision, while The Story by Vadim Mochalov reminded us that queer intimacy and personal narratives remain deeply political, especially in times of instability. Although both awarded films centred gay male protagonists, their emotional core reached far beyond gender and spoke in a universal language of vulnerability, connection, and the need to be seen. At the same time, this also highlighted the importance of creating more space for the wider spectrum of queer experiences and identities to appear on screen.”

This year,the “Pure Queer” programme stood out with a particularly rich programme, unveiling the first “Queer Anna” award to the best queer short film from Eastern and Central Europe. 🎬

30. Rīgas Starptautiskā Īsfilmu festivāla GRAND PRIX uzvar latviešu īsfilma “Kur saulīte nakti guļ?” (2025), ko radījusi Ildze Felsberga (@ildzefelsberga). Apsveicam laureāti! 🏅

Kā norāda žūrija: “Šis ir drosmīgs un kompromisus nepieļaujošs darbs, kurš piedāvā ierastos žanru pārkāpjošu redzējumu, kas vienlaikus ir gan absurdi humoristisks, gan dziļi aizkustinošs. Apvienojot dainu seno dvēseli ar budžeta deficītu un birokrātijas sterilo rutīnu, autore iedveš folklorai jaunu dzīvībum apliecinot, ka tradicionālā gudrība joprojām ir nozīmīgs instruments, lai orientētos mūsdienu pasaules sarežģītībā.

Ar stingru formālo precizitāti katrs kadrs šajā atturīgajā, pelēcīgajā estētikā atklāj biroja dzīves eksistenciālo farsu. Tas kļūst par spēcīgu kino izteiksmi, atgādinot, ka pat pasaulē, kurā dominē izklājlapas un slīdošie lifti, senākie jautājumi, par dvēseli un sauli, joprojām prasa atbildes.”

Sirsnīgs paldies mūsu sponsoram @failiem.lv par naudas balvas nodrošināšanu 1000€ apmērā!

The 30th Riga International Short Film Festival Festival 2ANNAS GRAND PRIX is awarded to the Latvian short film “Where Does the Sun Sleep at Night?” (2025) by Ildze Felsberga (@ildzefelsberga). We congratulate the winner!🏅

The jury says: “This bold and uncompromising work presents a genre-bending vision that is at once hilariously absurd and profoundly moving. By pairing the ancient soul of Dainas with the sterile drudgery of budget deficits and bureaucracy, the filmmaker breathes new life into folklore - proving that traditional wisdom remains a vital tool for navigating the complexities of the modern world.

With rigorous formal precision, every frame within its muted, grey aesthetic captures the existential farce of office life. It becomes a powerful cinematic statement, reminding us that even in a world of spreadsheets and sliding elevators, the oldest questions - those of the soul and the sun - still demand an answer.”

Thank you to our sponsor @files.fm for providing a monetary prize of 1000€!

We are continuing our collaboration between @talkingshorts and 2ANNAS ISFF Emerging Critics' Workshop! The participants – Emel-Elizabeth Tuulik (Estonia), Elizabete Didža (Latvia) and Livia Maria Sîrbu (Lithuania / Romania) – wrote an article reflecting about the “Baltic Burden”.

In the article the Emerging Critics explores when a shared regional sensibility hardens into a reproducible style, and what distinguishes the “Baltic burden” from other cinematic conditions. 👀

We want to thank the team of @talkingshorts for this great opportunity, and we invite you all to read the article here: https://talkingshorts.com/the-baltic-burden-between-departure-and-stagnation

The workshop was led by Michiel Philippaerts and supported by @kinocentrs, @riga.lv and @kulturkapitals
