The cycle of documentary short films titled 'Latvian Code. Latvia Today' produces films annually that document and reveal Latvia today through the lens of its people. These films seek to delve into individual stories while providing a broader contextual understanding of social, cultural, historical, and future implications pertinent to Latvia's present reality. They also interpret significant future events' impact on Latvia today and highlight themes deserving of broader societal attention.

For the 2026 competition, a prominent focus is on human stories—narratives surrounding life-changing choices, growth, traditions, and the disruption of familiar routines. The selected films from this year's cycle will offer viewers insights into contemporary Latvia through perspectives of love and care, delving into various communities and societal sections that share a collective responsibility for what matters most to them. The new stories from the 'Latvian Code' initiative will provide a glimpse into the changing dynamics of Latvian society and the challenges it faces in the current social landscape.

Overall, 'Latvian Code. Latvia Today' serves as an important cultural initiative to reflect the evolving identity and narratives of Latvia, offering both local and international audiences an understanding of its current societal context and potential future trajectories.
