Baltic Analog Lab and Skaņu Mežs festival announce their first 2026 international open call for the artist-in-residence program, taking place from January to April 2026.
Baltic Analog Lab and Skaņu Mežs are excited to continue our shared residency program, uniting the worlds of analog film and experimental sound. Building on our shared commitment to analog, photochemical, and interdisciplinary artistic practices, this ongoing residency aims to foster new encounters between filmmakers, photographers, researchers, and sound artists.
Apart from lab’s focus on photochemical practices, we also continue our collaboration with Erica Synths – Latvia based innovators in modular synthesizers and analog sound tools – to explore new intersections between image and sound, chemistry and electronics. Baltic Analog Lab is also pleased to announce a new addition to its facilities: an optical printer, offering unique possibilities for more experienced filmmakers needing to work on this very particular machine.
