Tyrinėjant dokumentikos formą (Skalvija)

Through editing and an expressive soundtrack, the documentary look of Ansio Epner acquires a special dynamic - and it does not matter if the films tell about sports ("Men's Game"), the work of choir conductors ("Conductors"), or the difficulties of doctors in treating people addicted to alcohol ( "Hemogram"). On the other hand, the film "The Mobile Home" can be seen as a playful manipulation of documentary material, where the boundary between real and staged reality becomes violated. A completely different aesthetic characterizes Epner's video diaries, the first of which, From Everest to Paradise, offers interesting observations from the director's travels around the world's continents.
