Riga Pasaules Film Festival 2026
From May 6 to 10
Emotional and sensorial wandering
The annual Riga Pasaules Film Festival, dedicated to documentary cinema, will take place from 6th to 10th of May, offering a program of feature-length and short films, a retrospective of Agnès Varda’s work, as well as a two-day film industry section. The film programme is curated around stories that approach filmmaking through wander, where the filmmaker is not guided by a clear destination but by the emotional and sensorial aspects of the environment.

Curator's Statement: Paying Attention, Unveiling Nuance
Wandering happens in motion, as an exploration of the unknown, a journey driven by curiosity and a deep engagement with the present moment. It’s in this state of movement and inquisitiveness that we open ourselves to new experiences and perspectives.
