The Wayfarers

Original title: Rändajad

2024 | Documentary | Director: Eva Sepping

Three Siberian Estonian women are looking for paradise here and outside the borders.

It's a story about three Siberian Estonian women of different generations whose ancestors were deported from Estonia as criminals in the 19th century. Instead of prison, they ended up in paradise - a fertile land where people quickly rebuilt their lives. One hundred and seventy years later, the situation has reversed: some have already "got used to the life here", but for others, on the eve of the war, it is the last minute to travel to paradise, which on this occasion is Estonia.

2024 | Documentary, Problem oriented, TV Serial | Director: Martti Helde

The series open the viewer to the current state of Estonian forests and shows how political decisions have affected the use of the common property.

The final episode presents viewers with new material and topics not covered in the full-length documentary. It critically examines the portrayal of Estonia's forest policy in the media over the years, emphasizing these portrayals against the backdrop of the increasingly urgent climate crisis. The episode discusses controlled communication and reputation management, which the forestry industry has consistently implemented in shaping policy. Media and communication specialists, as well as the Estonian University of Life Sciences, contribute their perspectives.

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
