This film portraits Leonhard Lapin, a creator born in an Estonian small town called Räpina in the 1950s, who becomes one of the most outstanding avant-garde artists on the Soviet Estonian art and architecture scene. In the second half of the 1960s, deep in the middle of the Soviet era, Lapin went to the capital to study architecture at the Art Institute.

Long Live the Scandals!

Original title: Elagu skandaalid ja kollased sandaalid

2018 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Documentary about Estonian contemporary artist Leonhard Lapin.

Leonhard Lapin is the classic and the enfant terrible of Estonian contemporary art, constantly followed by scandals, lewd legends and envious grumbling. Lapin confidently steps on the cornea of mediocrity, enjoying the situation to the fullest. Loved by his muses, the artist is not ashamed of his dalliances. He still has plenty at the grand old age of 70. The new Estonian film opens the doors to a disappearing Bohemianism, in which racy vocabulary reigns instead of political correctness.
