Marat Barsky

Independent Producer and Event Organizer since 1996

My name is Marat Barsky, I am an independent producer and organizer of events since 1996, the founder and organizer of the International Animated Film Festival — BIMINI (Riga, Latvia) and T-Short Animated film Festival (Karlsruhe, Deutschland).

I started organizing events back in 1996. In cooperation with my two friends, we have started to organize massive techno parties in Latvia. So, we worked together until the end of 2001, and then everyone went their own way.

A lot of public and private events were realized during my activity in Latvia from 1996 to 2009. Some of these events were organized both in cooperation with other producers, but some were organized solely by me personally. Some events took place in Latvia for the first time, including BIMINI festival.

All massive public events were supported by leading media groups, private sponsors and government.
