Magic Flute

The film explores the life of Mozart, particularly his reflections on death, which he described as a comforting presence. It contrasts his burial in a mass grave in Vienna with the 2000 burial of 452 individuals at the Jaunciems cemetery in Riga, highlighting societal views on death across time.

Despite its somber themes, Magic Flute is ultimately an exploration of love, weaving together Mozart's legacy with contemporary reflections on mortality. This documentary was specially commissioned for the Latvian exhibition at the Venice Biennale, adding a unique artistic context to its contents.
