Film festival in Riga taking place biannually since 1988, and annually since 2010.
In the 1990 edition of the festival there was a large selection of French avant-garde, with films by Georges Ray, Dominique Avron, Claudine Eizykman, Alain Bonnamy, Pierre Rovere, Maurice Lamitre, Patrice Bokanovski etc. Through this, a Television media bridge (during 1988 couple of media bridges were organized between France and Latvia and Arsenals was the first medium that gave an update on the rebellious situation in the Soviet Union at that time).
