Manai mammai nav bail / My Mommy Isn’t Afraid (2024)
2024 National Film awards nomination - Best director of Animation and the best Animation for the animation film cycle “Wardrobe of Wonders”, Best artists of Anmation
My Mom’s Not Afraid is the fifth film in the animated series Wonder Closet.
In an ordinary house, in an ordinary apartment, lives a supermom who can do everything and is afraid of nothing! In the mornings, she heroically catches the children’s tights slithering away like snakes, cleans out old mushrooms growing in ears, finds a shoe—now a mouse ship—stuck under the bathtub, and prepares a magical breakfast table. Later, she leads work meetings with crocodiles, ghosts, and the undead, all while battling dragons. But there is one thing she’s afraid of—thunder and lightning. That’s when a little superhero comes to the rescue, and all her fears vanish.
"Manai mammai nav bail" ir piektā animācijas cikla "Brīnumskapis" filma. Kādā pavisam parastā mājā, kādā pavisam parastā dzīvoklī dzīvo supermamma, kura spēj visu un, kurai nav bail ne no kā! Rītos viņa varonīgi ķert kā čūskas prom slīdošās bērnu zeķubikses, iztīra no ausīm augošās vecās sēnes, sameklēt zem vannas aizkritušo kurpi - peļu kuģi un uzklāj brīnumbrokastu galdu. Vēlāk vada darba sapulci ar krokodiliem, rēgiem, miroņiem un cīnās ar pūķiem. Tikai no pērkona un zibens viņai ir bail. Bet tad palīgā nāk kāds mazs supervaronis un visas bailes pagaist.

Māsiņas puteklītes / Dust Fairies (2020)
Priemer 2020
In a completely typical building, in a typical apartment, in a completely typical kid's room there stands a not at all typical wardrobe. Behind its doors, behind the dresses and blouses, the shirts and trousers that obediantly live on the hangers, lives a secret darkness of the imagination from which some interesting characters appear and begin to live in the children's room. You need only knock and see how the dust fairies start to play with others in the room - even starting to play the piano! This is a carefree story about the construct of the world and that which appears up! and down!

2014 nomination for award « 1 kg of Culture » in the position « Best film »
This creative documentary tells the story of women in art – what she has to sacrifice in her personal life and what choices have to be made in order to gain success in her career. The film explores life of artist, by following theatre director’s Mara Kimele's fighting relationships with her despotic grandmother Anna Lacis (widely known as Asya, whose life is closely tied to the names of Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brech), cynical son Peteris (who is played by an actor) and work while she stages F. Dostoevsky's “Crime and Punishment”. Every character of film is an act. But does that make them any less real? And what is real in the world of art? Apart from its human character's, the film also has an animated one – the horse, who came into life through the first letter Mara wrote to her grand mother and has been following her ever since.

Piektais Hamlets / The Fifth Hamlet (2009)
What does the question "to be or not to be?" mean to a person? Does the answer include only the biological difference between life and death or do these states interact and are both a part of life? How do you overcome non-existence, how do you achieve the consciousness of your existence and fulfilment? How to escape the emptiness of life? How to make life fulfilling? The protagonist of this film is the 86-year-old director Olgerts Kroders, who commenced staging his fourth production of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in Valmieras Drama Theatre. The theatre is more than merely his occupation, he not only works there but also lives and spends all of his time in it. The film depicts his routine, and the rehearsal process up until the premiere and provokes a dialogue about theatre, freedom and solitude using four actors, who have all been Hamlet in the different productions of the play.2009 nomination for national award in the filmmaking "Big Cristopher" as the Best documentary film, Best debut and The best work in culture 2009
