The programme also includes a national competition, which takes place in the month before the festival, when all Latvian productions are screened within the forum of the festival Lielais Kristaps. Nordic Highlights, Kids Weekend, #Youth Matters!, Short Riga and In Kino Veritas are also in the menu.

This year's festival is also hosting a new edition of Artdocfest Documentary Film Festival, which has been relocated from Moscow. Given the various films and events, the festival has been extended to 10 days this year.
