Case of an artist as a scriptwriter in the works of Latvian documentary filmmaker Juris Podnieks

Abstrakt

Original study devoted to the collaboration between little known Latvian documentary filmmaker Juris Podnieks, and scriptwriter Arnolds Plaudis. Zane Balčus goes beyond traditional analysis focused on film style and interpretation, taking into account wide spectrum of visual documents (illustrated scripts), reflecting in an original way the process of developing an artwork by two creative personalities. The author reconstructs the image of their collaborative work following press materials, interviews and other written and drawn data.
