The Voice of Sokurov

Original title (in Finnish): Sokurovin ääni

2014 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Leena Kilpeläinen
Pärnography

Original title: Mees animatsoonist

2005 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Hardi Volmer

"Pärnography" is a great introduction to the works of Pärn and serves as a great portrait film about the 'man from animazone'.

Priit Pärn is an animator of international renown, graphic artist, caricaturist and book illustrator whose works are utterly grotesque, absurd and funny. Additionally, they are critical of the society, piercing the deepest levels of human consciousness. A closer examination of Pärn and other Estonian animators reveals that Estonia was not sung or fought to freedom. It was liberated via animation!

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
