The film "Radiotehnika" and the newspaper allow me to
reflect on the imagery of Soviet times, the well known imagery of Soviet
factory and the social privileges that this environment granting those its
workers. It is important here to remember the nostalgia and the instability
that those who lost their jobs and their privileges feel today and to remember
that factory newspapers were propaganda tools monitored and censored by the
Communist Party.
All of this work is a close collaboration with Agnese Luse, Mara
and Galina Traumane, Ineta Sipunova,
Rihards Brazinskis
and Raitis
Upens.
