2011 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Julia Guteva-Sillart, Jüri Sillart

Portrait documentary by Julia and Jüri Sillart about Enn Vetemaa - a writer, translator and composer; always an elegant man with a brilliant mentality.

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.

Alyosha

Original title: Aljoša

2008 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Meelis Muhu

Meelis Muhu's documentary tells the story of the Soviet monument - the Bronze Soldier called Alyosha that was located in central Tallinn. The events around the monument culminated due to the dislocation of the monument in April 2007 and the following events called the Bronze Night when massive rioting and civil disorder took place on the streets of Tallinn.

People have called the monument "Alyosha" - the statue depicting a Red Army soldier was erected in 1947 in honour of the memory of Soviet soldiers killed in the World War II. For Estonian nationalists the monument was the symbol of Soviet occupation. For many Russian-speaking people, the Bronze Soldier was one of the few symbols left that connected them to Russia and Russian identity. Excerpts of archival material tell ...
