Biography

Rolands Kalniņš was born on 7 May 1922 Vecslabada, Istra parish, Latvia to a post worker family. From 1937 to 1940, he studied at the Riga State Gymnasium No.1. Following World War II, he started working as a director at the Riga Film Studio, instantly from an assistant director to a second director. His films Stone and Rubble and Breathe Deeply were pulled from cinemas as they were declared undesirable.

He won Best Screenplay Award at the Chisinau Film Festival (1967) for his film Stone and Rubble. In 1980, his film Saruna ar karalieni received the Latvian National Film Festival Prize for best documentary, but in 2005 he received Award for Life Contribution. He turned 100 on 7 May 2022, and died on 17 May.
