Latvia's prestigious film event, the "Great Kristaps" awards, is set to take place on March 1st, with several nominated films including the newest offerings like "Scarecrow" and "Imprints". The event will feature a live broadcast on the LSM.lv portal where audiences can witness the ceremony. The anticipation builds as viewers await the international jury's evaluations of the films nominated for this year's awards.

Laila Pakalniņa's documentary "Scarecrow" provides a unique insight into the behind-the-scenes of Riga Airport, focusing on how urban life coexists with various living creatures, including insects, birds, and animals. The film's narrative revolves around the specialists tasked with wildlife management at the airport, emphasizing the importance of preventing collisions between aircraft and wildlife, which could lead to catastrophic results. The documentary showcases not only the efforts of these professionals but also how these creatures adapt within the airport environment.

The cinematography, led by Māris Maskalāns, includes footage captured by one of the film's characters, Mareks Arbidāns, using his phone during work. This innovative approach highlights the vibrant natural life at Riga Airport, and as Arbidāns himself noted in discussions, emphasizes the airport's commitment to being an environmentally friendly hub. Overall, the film contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the interaction between nature and urban spaces and demonstrates the potential for coexistence in such settings.
