ÄŒetri balti krekli. Four White Shirts

Riga Film Studio, 1967

Director: Rolands Kalniņš

Length: 77 minutes

Language: Latvian

Subtitles: English, Russian, Latvian

The film phenomenon that, although banned and “shelved” for 20 years, lived on in legend and through the songs that Imants Kalniņš had composed for the film. Middle-aged cultural worker Anita Sondore feels that the song lyrics of the young poet Cēzars Kalniņš, as sung by a youth ensemble, are inappropriate. She writes a letter of complaint to the newspaper, thus setting in motion the system of censorship.

After the film – a sensitive and emotional portrayal of the spirit of 1960s youth – was finished, it was approved by the Riga Film Studio. However, complications arose when it was handed into the Soviet State Cinematography Committee. R. Kalniņš’ dissection of the arts censorship system turned out to be too on point, and therefore – unforgivable. The film was banned from being shown and “shelved”. The first time it was screened to the public was in 1986, when the songs Imants Kalniņš had composed for the film had already achieved cult status.
