The new courtroom has become a show. The viewer has become the juror who will decide the guilty and innocent in the comment section of social media. We, the lovers of screens, have gotten used to watching celebrities on trial. At first, it was the MeToo scandals and the resulting dethroning of powerful men. And then the opposite – Johnny Depp wins his defamation suit against his ex-wife’s accusations. But one celebrity has not reached the headlines though the accusations against him are the gravest of all and the punishment graver still.

The Last Days Of Judas Iscariot

Dailes Theater

When Frank finds out about his wife Alice’s desire for another man, his imagination drives him to obsession. Even if the sexual encounter was a fantasy, he is distraught and ventures out into the city, intent on engaging in infidelity of his own. A chance encounter sends him deeper into the night, where the line between dream and reality is blurred, and the distance between thought and action is much closer than he imagined. What started as a simple, ordinary conversation turns into a confession that threatens to tear two of the closest people apart…

Dream Story

What comes to light when, after the loss of his wife, John turns to psychotherapist Ian, a former priest… The patient is haunted by the ghost of his beloved wife, and he needs to confess to the doctor to make the apparition disappear. But it turns out that this mentally stable, self-assured specialist dishing out sage advice has quite a bit to hide himself. He has his own skeletons in the closet – no less frightening than his patient's. Suddenly, reality is more spooky than it seemed at the start of the session…

Shining City

One of the world's most expensive artworks is Mark Rothko's painting No. 6 (violet, green and red) which sold for a staggering €140 million. Whenever new price records hit the art world the question that inevitably arises is: what determines the astronomical value of this work? These days the question is even more difficult to answer, given the technological development of the art market, which raises issues around the value of copies of artworks and the artist's reputation.

The occupation of Latvia and the highly dubious actions of Latvian statesmen during June of 1940 is the darkest page in the country's history. At the centre of it all, stands the self-proclaimed leader Kārlis Ulmanis. His personality still stirs up discussions, and attracts radical opinions to this day– some criticize while others worship him. But what really happened? Would it have been possible for Latvia to remain independent had the leader Ulmanis made different decisions?
