LIELAIS KRISTAPS
In the middle of a grey sea there is the grey Isle of Seals. On the grey island grey hunters lead their grey lives. All here is simple and harsh. Seals and hunters cohabit in a brutal harmony. One day a photographer arrives on the island to document their environment. For him it turns out to be fatally difficult endeavour. Jansons had his debut in animation in 1995, but gained wider recognition with a film based on documentary materials “Little Bird’s Diary”. His “Choir Tour” and “The International Fathers’ Day” have also been noticed abroad, but his latest film was shown at the prestigious Annecy Festival in France. Since 2011, Jansons has been creating the increasingly popular series for kids called “The Shammies”.
