The story

Riga International Short Film Festival 2ANNAS in Riga

2ANNAS is Riga's dedicated international short-film festival, screening short films from Latvia and abroad across competitive categories each year. Alongside its screenings, it runs industry programming aimed at filmmakers and professionals, making it both a public festival and a working event for the short-film community. It stands as part of Riga's wider film-festival calendar alongside Riga IFF and Baltic Pearl, focused specifically on the short format.

Short films occupy an awkward place in most film cultures: too substantial to be dismissed as mere warm-up material, but too brief to anchor a feature-length festival slot on their own.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

2ANNAS occupies a specific niche in Riga's film calendar by focusing exclusively on the short-film format, a category that rarely gets dedicated festival treatment on its own scale elsewhere in the Baltic region

The mystery stays covered

Its competitive categories give short filmmakers, often working with far smaller budgets and crews than feature directors, a genuine platform for recognition rather than treating short films as a minor sidebar to feature programming

The city starts moving

The addition of industry programming alongside public screenings gives the festival a dual identity, part audience-facing cultural event, part working gathering for filmmakers and professionals, which has helped it earn recognition, including its own dedicated Wikipedia entry, as an established fixture of Riga's cultural life
