Klāvs Liepiņš

Klāvs Liepiņš (b. Latvia) is a filmmaker and visual artist whose practice moves between cinema, performance, and installation. His work often lingers in the in-between where silence, gesture, and atmosphere carry as much weight as narrative. Godspeed (2025) is a short film shot between Iceland and Latvia, starring Sandis Liass and Klāvs Liepiņš, with an original score by Julius Pollux and cinematography by Renāte Feizaka. Set against a decaying post-Soviet landscape, the film follows two men in a quiet, unhurried confrontation with memory and farewell. Rather than building toward drama or resolution, Godspeed dwells in stillness, the pauses, glances, and gestures that mark the unspoken. It is a meditation on love, closure, and the sacredness of letting go, where the fragility of human connection is held with tenderness against the backdrop of time and decay.
