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.

Finnish Television, that was visible only for people living in Northern Estonia, was the only window to the world of dreams and that was out of reach for the authorities to be banned. The documentary combines political action with fictional stories based on the memories ...
