For their coursework, film students from Lillehammer looked at how the world would feel if it had ended. They searched for a suitable location on the internet and found info on Skrunda, an abandoned Soviet-era military town in the west of Latvia.
Producer Ravn Wikhaug told Latvian Television that the place is absolutely amazing, and a lot of the design necessary for the project was already here. He said they would like to continue filming here, on the same topic and with the same people.
The film, to be released in summer, will be 25 minutes long and feature two actors - a man from Norway and a woman from Latvia.
The turning point for the former Soviet military city came in 1995 when the radar located there was spectacularly demolished, and the last forces from the Russian army left in 1998, taking much of the city with them.
