Baltic Doc Producers Trio to Track
Estonia’s Marianna Kaat, Latvia’s Uldis Cekulis and Lithuania’s Ruta Adelė Jekentaitė Heading to Cannes Docs.
The Baltics are making their debut at the Marché du Film’s Cannes Docs, where three high-profile producers will attend the Co-Pro Social Club session May 17: Estonia’s Marianna Kaat, Latvia’s Uldis Cekulis and Lithuania’s Ruta Adelė Jekentaitė. Headlining the slate are two co-productions just selected for competition at June’s Sheffield DocFest: the Norwegian/Latvian/South Korean “North South Man Woman” reunites Cekulis with “Liberation Day”’s Morten Traavik who co-directs with Sun Kim. “Dolce Far Niente,” by Elena Kairyté and co-produced with Italy’s Kiné Società Cooperativa, celebrates Italian poet and writer Tonino Guerra’s legacy; “Theories of Care,” by Rūta Kiaupaité, is an essay about a group of winemakers; and “I Keep My Eyes on You” is an archive-based biopic about Canada-born filmmaker Zoe Dirse of Lithuanian-Latvian origin.
