2023 | Animation, | Director: René Vilbre, Meelis Arulepp, Oskar Lehemaa, Mikk Mägi, Heiki Ernits

The film is about longing, friendship, love, family and fears, which often has “big eyes”.

The film is about longing, friendship, love, family and fears, which often has “big eyes”. The adventures of the strange characters are spiced with Andrus Kivirähk's warm and bold humor, weaving wittily together the children’s boundless and the living conditions of the modern world. The film is full of emotions, excitement and a bit of nerve-wracking, for both young and old viewers.

Time Quartet: In The Storm of Roses

Original title: Ajakvartett: Rooside rajus

2022 | Other categories, Experimental | Director:

The nurse looks after the roses; the grandchild teaches Granny TikTok; ancient Romans walk around in the garden to the sounds of a saxophone. Countries, roads and people branch out in branching times.

The short film is an attempt to visually reflect our time through a specific person, a retired nurse Helgi Kuusik. We see her in her Haanjamaa farm and in her rose garden, which she established years ago while working in Helsinki hospitals and commuting between Estonia and Finland. The brief scenes in an idyllic rural location, staged in the manner of Victorian era paintings, are linked with more realistic shots about Helgi's trip to East-Helsinki to visit her daughter's family.

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.
