A Lamb in a Minute

Original title: Minut ja lammas

2013 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Mirjam Matiisen

Men offering sheep shearing services decide to face the challenge at the European shearing championships.

Mehis and Raivo are the only professional sheep shearers in Estonia who compare their lifestyle with the construction workers who work abroad. Shearing work often brings them far away from home for a long time. For physics student Aadam sheep shearing is a well-paid job that allows him to focus on his studies while spending considerably little time for working. In the summer of 2013 Mehis, Raivo and Aadam make up their minds to go to Scotland in order to participate in European sheep shearing championships.

2006 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Peeter Brambat

Documentary portrait by Peeter Brambat about Ants VIidalepp, an elderly painter and professor emeritus.

Professional artist Ants Viidalepp (1921-2012) was 85 at the time of filming the documentary. He is known for younger generations mostly because of his books of recollections. At his exhibition "Fifty Viidalepps" held in Viinistu Art Museum in the spring of 2006, the artist showed his grotesque, folksy small-format oil paintings. Viidalepp's works often depict cartoonish funny stories where the characters wear festive clothes from the early 20th century whil looking simple-minded and happy. Every picture has its own strange everyday fabula just like the artist's endless recollective stories that he tells to accompany his work.

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.
