“White Spots” is a curated film programme that has been held regularly at the Zuzeum Art Centre since 2018. The purpose of the programme is to fill in the gaps that people might have in their knowledge of cinema history. The programme offers a selection of beloved and acclaimed classics — both from earlier days and relatively recent times.
The theme of the 2021 programme is “Utopias and Dystopias”. The screenings will begin on July 22 with the 1998 film “The Truman Show”, directed by Peter Weir. Entrance — from 9 PM; at around 10 PM, Zuzeum Director Agnese Kleina, a representative of the U.S. Embassy in Riga, and co-founder of “Kino Kults” Sergejs Musatovs will welcome the audience, followed by the film.
