Poll

The Poll; The Poll Diaries

2010 | Full length feature, Feature film | Director: Chris Kraus

The feature film directed by German filmmaker Chris Kraus has been inspired by the memoirs of the director's great aunt of Baltic German origin, Oda Schaefer, where she talks about her youth in Estonia directly before the World War 1.

The feature film gives an unconventional description of a Baltic German estate in Estonia in early 20th century, in the crossroads of the German Empire and the Russian Empire. A beautiful yet menacing world is created by the ghostly manor in the sea, the scenery of that era and the soundtrack. The dramatic details as fetuses and human brain in spirit, operations and the bloodstained anarchist add angst and morbidness. For Estonian cinema audiences, it is especially important to witness the revival of the lost world of the Baltic Germans.
