For the film Magic Flute, director Viesturs Kairis~ s and stage designer Ilmars Blumbergs adopted elements from their joint production of Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Latvian National Opera. Laila Pakalnina's black-and-white documentary film Papagena depicts the citizens of Riga listening to Mozart's music (some, apparently for the first time) in the outskirts of Riga. These films were commissioned by the curator Helena Demakova for the 2001 Venice Biennale to provide a sober contrast to Riga's 800-year anniversary celebrations.
