Biografia
The way into filmmaking for the young journalist Aivars Freiman started with being fired from the daily newspaper for impudent writing style. He continued the same style with the air of resistance about it in filmmaking and it turned out to be more successful this time. He started writing a small small texts for voice overs at the Chronicles department and ended up being director first exclusively for documentaries, later also feature films. Poetic masterpieces by Aivars Freimanis include Send-off (1963), The Coast (1963), Year in Review (1965), Frescoes of Kuldiga (1963), The Catch (1969). Also the spiky and sometimes black humor used by old filmmakers of that generation is a characteristic sign of Freimanis expression.
