Perhaps such a week will never happen again in my life and in our life. Don’t go to bed to keep up with slowly progressing tension Golden Globe to an awards ceremony, or wake up to the expectedly/unexpectedly wonderful news about Streams success in Los Angeles. Watch excerpts of the ceremony online and believe/not believe your eyes that living Hollywood legend Harrison Ford, Gints Zilbalodis, Matīss Kaža and Streams “the third musketeer” – French producer Ron Dians. You will be shocked/rejoiced at how confused/convincingly Gints Zilbalodis delivers his speech – compact and purposeful. In contrast to the infinity of speeches at local ceremonies, in US show business, words have to be dosed and emotions must be controlled professionally.
I don’t know how everyone would feel if they had to stand on stage in front of the Hollywood elite and talk about a small, but phenomenally successful and talented European film, about a small but sometimes phenomenally talented country, Latvia, about which those sitting in the hall had probably heard a lot, very rare. I don’t know what Demi Moore knows about Latvia, whose speech was the emotional peak of this ceremony, because she touched on important problems – ageism, arrogance, premature writing off of actresses. Demi Moore received the first professional award of her long and once commercially successful career (for her role in French director Coralie Farge’s Substance). It’s a first for Demi Moore Golden Globelike Latvia For the stream. Beautiful games of destiny!
Movies Substance and Stream have already met at the same time and place as the creative teams of these films. if you remember Streams the world journey began in May 2024, when the film was included in the program of the Cannes Film Festival, and I will say frankly – only a few Latvian media were interested in this fact at that time. Another French film started there – Jacques Audiard Emily Perez (it got four Golden Globes) – far-reaching success. This is just a reminder that the influence of the Cannes Film Festival in the world is enormous. Films that have the potential to win US film awards are also spotted there.
Streams success can create a false sense of ease: hey, hey, now give us a globe and an oscar regularly! Oh, how beautiful that would be! However, dreaming the big beautiful dreams, of which, hey, it turns out, Streams the dream has also come true in life, let’s not forget that what happens with Streamis a phenomenal success for a small European country with a modestly funded film industry. Many elements have worked precisely here – Gints Zilbalož’s unique talent and world vision, as well as Matīs Kaža’s education in the USA and the qualities of a producer. The timing has proved to be favorable here – the film, which has been made for five long years, premiered in a period when the instability and fragmentation of the world is gaining momentum. This feeling of lability is almost literally visualized in the film with camera mobility atypical of animated films. Stream offers not only adventure and experience, but also harmony. The phenomenon of film influence can be studied for years to come.
what happened on January 5 Golden Globe 10.1 million viewers watched the presentation ceremony. Probably, a large part of them heard the name of Latvia for the first time.
