Heldur

2017 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Karol Ansip

Shortly before Estonia regained its independence, a painting studio came into being, a studio that was guided by principles of painting that dated back to the First Republic. Heldur Viires, the leader and teacher of the school, has been passing on his knowledge of colour and light for thirty meaningful years.

A true master who continued sharing his painterly advice even at the age of 89, when he still visited the studio every afternoon to have a look at the nudes painted that morning. An old-school gentleman whose students gather together every year on the 24th of February to raise a glass of sparkling wine to the Estonian Republic. A vigilant spirit who has shared the path with Ülo Sooster, Henn Roode, Kaja Kärner, Lembit Saarts and ...

2009 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Kai-Mai Olbri

This film's central theme is freedom - human and above all artist's freedom: artistic, spiritual and physical, observed retroactively by the author herself. This sincere and confessional biography examines the author's complicated and versatile artistic nature. Marriage to a loved one brings on a clear understanding of responsibility. You become positive, that happy co-existence is what allows a human being to feel free. It is because of that freedom, that you can take on new challenges and understand, that be it painting, writing, acting, or filming - your art is one whole.
