Ten professional theatres currently exist in Latvia, but the National Theatre was actually the site where Latvia's independence was proclaimed in 1918. Latvian photographers, including Janis Klavins, Viesturs Links and Peteris Jaunzems have won top awards in international photography competitions in the past few years. While the origins of Latvian cinematography date back to the 1920's, the first full length Latvian film was "Zvejnieka dels" (The Fisherman's Son) produced in 1940. Documentaries have had special success and the most famous documentary producers include the Juris Podnieks (well known for documentaries such as "The Soviets", and "Krustacels" (the Stations of the Cross)), Ivars Seleckis for "Skersiela" (Crossroads) and Herc Franks for "Augstaka tiesa" (The Supreme Court). The state owned Riga Film studio once produced several feature films each year, but with the collapse of the Soviet cinematography system and full state funding, the studio is now struggling to survive.

106. THE CULTURAL AND ETHNIC SITUATION IN LATVIA DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE IRON AGE In Southwestern latvia, the cultural traditions of the previous era were preserved. Research in grave sites at Grobiòa, Oðenieki and especially Ìeistauti http://vip.latnet.lv/hss/vasks.htm

Andrejs Vasks THE CULTURAL AND ETHNIC SITUATION IN LATVIA DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE IRON AGE (1st - 8th Century AD) During the early Iron Age, there were several large regions in what is now Latvia where populations were linked more closely by various economic, personal, religious and, one can assume, adminstative and political contacts. Strengthening of these links facilitated the cultural heterogeneity of various regions within the territory, something that presumably was also caused by ethnic differences. These differences were manifested in burial traditions, ornamentation, and occasionally in tools and pottery. It should be noted that none of these regions lay entirely within Latvia each of them also covered some territory in neighboring countries. The northernmost border of the Latvian territory which was occupied by the ancestors of the Curonians cannot be specified with any precision. Judging from the distribution of gravesites, it probably did not stretch much beyond the Durbe lake. The discovery of a few scattered sites allows specialists to move the border a bit further to the North, perhaps to Kazdanga. Even farther to the North up to the Abava river and the Lower Venta, there is a broad zone in which archaeologists have found no traces of the early Iron Age. Apparently this was a sparsely populated region which separated Balts to the South from Baltic Finns to the North. In the territory which was populated by the ancestors of Curonians, no paleoanthropological materials from the early Iron Age have been discovered, so there is no possibility to provide a physical characterization of the inhabitants from that time. Based on various indirect evidence, we can conclude that the ancestors of the Curonians had a gracile and narrow-faced anthropological type (Èesnis1985).

Internationale Kulturwissenschaften International Cultural Studies Etudes culturelles internationales Sektion II: Transformation alter wissenschaftlicher Institutionen Section II: Transformation of Old Scientific Institutions Section II: Transformation dans les anciennes institutions scientifiques Zaiga Ikere (Daugavpils / Latvia) International Cultural Studies in Latvia before and after 1991 The year of 1991 is crucial in the fate of Latvia. It is the year of regaining our country's independence from the Communist regime. Since then fundamental changes have taken place in the country's economical, political and educational structure. The present paper covers the issue of international cultural studies at a tertiary level and their significance in the contemporary educational system. The comprehension of a foreign language and another nation's culture deepens one's insight and changes one's attitude in reference to human life's individual and societal aspects. Through the revelation of any otherness one's apprehension of culture and the ideas in reference to the forms of human existence become richer. A deeper understanding grasps a sense at a definite time, in association with another man, his world. The process of mutual understanding becomes deeper if both partners understand and respect each other. "Understanding in its essence is a dialogue" as Latvian philosophers Maija and Rihards Kuli hold in accordance with other contemporary philosophers.
