The level of the Daugava is rising, but what about the 'Great Kristaps'? Film event review

The review discusses both the honoring of stunt performers at the 'Great Kristaps' awards and the overall disappointing execution of the event this year.

The article reflects on the 'Great Kristaps' film awards ceremony, highlighting a positive moment where stunt performer Uldis Jānis Veispals was honored for his lifetime contribution, which brought warmth to the event. However, the overall sentiment regarding the ceremony was less favorable. Despite the commendable recognition for contributors like Veispals, the programming and organization of the awards seemed to have faltered compared to previous years, indicating a possible decline in standards and execution.

The review critiques the communication strategy employed by the awards organizers, noting that essential information regarding film screenings and the jury was poorly disseminated, only being announced a few days prior to the event. This lack of clarity left many potential attendees confused and disconnected from the event, which diminishes the impact of the awards and its ability to connect with the audience effectively. The writer stresses the importance of improving communication to engage viewers attractively.

Lastly, the commentary on the awards ceremony itself pointed out that the execution fell short of expectations, contrasting it with the previous years' vibrant events directed by Matīss Kaža. The author expressed disappointment with various aspects of the ceremony, including the scripts and stage design, suggesting that the recent ceremony seems like a regression for the event, indicating significant challenges ahead if improvements are not made soon.
