A Question of Recording

2020 | Students film, Documentary | Director: Eik Erik Sikk

The short documentary made by director-editor Eik Erik Sikk, DoP Tristan Luige and sound engineer Ralf Schneider creates an insight to the creative process of two Estonian music producers, Sander Mölder and Sammalhabe.

“A Question of Recording” presents a small overview of two Estonian music producer’s creative processes and their personalities: how and why do they work with sound art. The main cause of this project is to record local artists in their own element, in a environment where they feel safe, and fit it all into the narrow frame of a portrait story. Being the first try in this format, the film opens the gate for making similar clips in the future, mapping out the contemporary Estonian music makers like a visual almanac.

More than Life

Original title: Enam kui elu

2018 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Indrek Spungin, Taavi Arus

This is the story of the last genuine rock star and poet, of his work, and of the anatomy of a punk band.

Freddy Grenzmann is Estonia’s last rock star and the singer of the punk rock band Psychoterror. He’s also a poet. The rock star phenomenon is beyond ordinary norms. It’s larger than life. It can approvingly be said of Freddy that he isn’t normal – not on stage nor in life. Freddy’s oeuvre and life are equivalent – he gives everything his all. What makes Freddy interesting is not the delight of social or textual games but rather the magnitude of what he puts at stake, the possibility of completely losing himself, and the depth of foreseeable human or metaphysical distress.
