Disco and Atomic War

Original title: Disko ja tuumasõda

2009 | Documentary | Director: Jaak Kilmi

Playful documentary by Jaak Kilmi and Kiur Aarma about the development of their generation during the Soviet era where the totalitarian power confronted the heroes of pop culture and the Finnish Television was the window to the world of dreams.

The playful documentary tells the story about a strange war of information in Estonian SSR during the 1980s when the totalitarian power confronted the heroes of pop culture. And the heroes won. Western pop culture played extremely important part in developing the world view of the Soviet youth - today this may seem rather weird.

Compendious treatment about Estonian contemporary history and the SInging Revolution.
