The film lecture program highlights films that occupy a space between the past, which must be left behind, and a future that has yet to crystallize. By focusing on the points of tension within modern society and the cyclical nature of change, the program invites audiences to reflect on works that have been both celebrated and criticized, thus providing newer insights into personal discovery.

One notable film featured in the program is Sally Potter's "Orlando," which not only showcases a lavish period stylization but also serves as one of Tilda Swinton's most iconic roles as the titular character. Based on the modernist classic by Virginia Woolf, the narrative follows an aristocrat who gains the ability to become immortal and travels through centuries, undergoing a mystical transformation in gender. This film has garnered both acclaim and scandal due to its plot, while Woolf and Potter intricately weave a narrative thread addressing societal attitudes towards gender and the extent to which this category can alter a person's life.

The film lecture series plays a historically significant role in promoting Latvian cinematography. By offering this unique selection of films, the program not only educates audiences about the past but also encourages discussions about the evolving landscape of identity, gender, and the arts. It seeks to not only entertain but also to challenge conventional norms, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself in relation to society's expectations and realities.
