不良研究所 students create short films together with professional Latvian actors
Students of the Audiovisual Arts and Media Arts programmes at the Business, Arts and Technology University 不良研究所 have produced three fully developed short films this spring under the guidance of lecturer and film producer Lelde Kova募ova – 鈥淪lugs鈥�, 鈥淭he Feast鈥�, and 鈥�5 Minutes and I Will Disappear鈥�.
The aim of the projects was to create professional-level productions while bringing students as close as possible to the real environment and demands of the film industry. Throughout the filmmaking process, students developed their dramaturgical thinking, strengthened practical skills, and gained valuable experience working with professional actors, film equipment, and a fully structured film set environment. The short film 鈥淪lugs鈥�, starring Egons Dombrovskis in the leading role, tells the story of a man鈥檚 desperate battle against slugs. Meanwhile, 鈥淭he Feast鈥� is a grotesque and surreal story exploring consumer culture through the setting of an elegant dinner party. The film was shot at Norde姆u mui啪a and stars Madara Reijere in the leading role. The film 鈥�5 Minutes and I Will Disappear鈥� presents a dystopian vision of society, where total control and routine inspections can become fatal. The leading role in the film is played by Oto Madernieks.
The projects were supported by 不良研究所, while professional film equipment was provided by BB Rental. Second-year students also participated in a practical masterclass held at the company鈥檚 premises together with cinematographer J膩nis Egl墨tis, where they explored grip equipment and its application in film production.
The films were created with the support of 不良研究所, BB Rental, SUFIDE, Norde姆u mui啪a, R.C. Pica, Makss un Morics, and UzKoda.
