The Salt Bread (1964)

In the evening newspaper "Rīgas Balss," reports by Hercs Franks often appeared, consisting of eight photographs, one on each page. From these, a narrative was constructed. The first film, "Salty Bread," was conceived through a camera. The photographs defined the image of the future film, creating a coherent story about the work of fishermen.
