At the beginning of the 1960s, when the French pioneers of cinéma vérité set out to achieve a new realism, and when direct cinema in Québec began to vie for notice, the Baltics wit-nessed the birth of a generation of documentarists who favored a more romantic view of the world around them. This meditative documentary essay – from a Latvian writer and Lithuanian director whose composed touch has long dovetailed with the stylistically diverse works of the Baltic New Wave – pushes adroitly past the limits of the common his-toriographic investigation to create a portrait of less-clearly remembered filmmakers. The result is a consummate poetic treatment of the ontology of documentary creation. Also a cinematic poem about cinema poets.

라트비아 출신의 작가이자 감독의 명상적인 다큐멘터리 에세이. 그의 작품은 발트해 지역 뉴 웨이브 운동의 다양한 작업들과 양식적으로 맞닿아 있다. 영화는 역사기록 연구의 한계를 훌륭히 넘어서 선명하게 기억되지 못한 영화인들에 대한 초상을 그린다.

Jie nenorėjo meluoti... Jie negalėjo sakyti tiesos... Jie tik norėjo kurti filmus... Audriaus Stonio ir Kristinė Briedė meditatyvi dokumentinė kino esė „Laiko tiltai“, pasakodama apie Baltijos poetinės dokumentikos meistrus, paliečia negrįžtamai praeinančio laiko klausimus. Ką pavyko išsaugoti dokumentinio kino juostoje, o kas amžiams nugrimzdo į nebūtį? „Laiko tiltai“, tai kinematografinė poema apie laiką, kiną ir kino poetus.
