Riga Film Museum

It holds various exhibitions that display different aspects of cinema art, actors and film history.

Movies shown throughout Europe (in cities such as Berlin and London) are oftentimes set in Riga because of its beautiful architecture and style.

Moving phenomenon, optical illusions, the birth of theater, mystery, horror, and comedy film are explored for young, kindergarten and elementary school aged students.

The theme for grades 1-6 is visual art, which includes studies about the line, silhouette, movement, form, experiment, setting, location and surroundings of movies as well as the introduction to different artworks in the museum exposition.

The discussions on the above-mentioned topics will prepare the students for filling out an assignment: a review or critique of the film.

A class in the museum is a great opportunity to change the learning environment and to combine theory with real life situations.

The class discusses the effects of totalitarian government on the lives of people and the freedom of expression by watching movie fragments in the Latvian Cultural Canon.
