The postcards, or business cards which they are being called this year are shown just before each country performs. This year it will show information about the country performing and also show Latvia at it's best. The clips are due to be 45 seconds long and will be directed by Uģis Brikmanis. The Theme of the video clips will be 'A Magical Encounter'- showing present wonderful legends- enclunters with Latvia.
Brikmanis explains, " The link to a specific story or legend will be very symbolic, almost unnoticeable. My idea in producing these 'business cards' is to present Latvia's beautiful nature and its deeply cultural people. Millions of viewers will come to love Latvia through these 'business cards', and each country will find a specific or symbolic link in time and space. Nature, however, exists only in tandem with people. People face magical encounters, and the destinies of whole countries change."
The audience will see Latvia's forests, rivers, lakes and towns all in the 'business cards'. The clips will be filmed in Riga, in the eastern Latvian region of Latgale and elsewhere in the country.
The business cards are due to be completed in March 2003
