Beggar Writer's House

Original title: Vaeste kirjanike maja

2012 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Why do we care for writers who don't care for anything or anybody, even not for themselves? Still we need them and feed them, we love them and give shelter. Can it be that at certain moments we would like to be writers and also have this love-hate relationship with the world that writers expose.

2012 | Documentary | Director: Erik Norkroos
Boxed

Original title: Kastis

2012 | Feature film, Short | Director: Sander Allikmäe

Minimalistic story about power and the abuse of power. Film about the potency of power and unexpected indifference.

The suppressed life of a simple man in an authoritarian society. The subject of social control touches all of us despite one's nationality, gender or place of residence. In order the authoritarian power could exist, there must be also the ones who are weaker. Demonstrating authority on the weak excludes the possibility that other weak ones would doubt the power of the leader, not even for a moment. Power does exactly what it wants. Anyone can be the next one if disliked by the authority.

Original title: Jeesus, homod ja kiisud

2012 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Jaan Kolberg

The protagonist of the documentary is Rein Mets, an extremely controversial man known as an evangelist and founder of the Living Word religious movement in Estonia. He is also a father of five children, a bisexual and has been living together with a man for more than 20 years.
