2021 | Feature film, Documentary, Portrait | Director: Ivar Murd

A documentary about the life and music of Uku Kuut, from the Soviet Union to Los Angeles and to speakers all around the world.

To understand the international phenomenon of Uku Kuut means to understand the ability of different musical niches, sub-genres and hidden creative explosions to not only exist, butflourish, completely independently of the mainstream. Kuut’s life, mothered by Maryn E.Coote (who you may know as the Estonian Jazz diva Marju Kuut), took him from the Soviet Union to refuge in Sweden, music studios in Los Angeles, back to a re-independent Estonia and later, fighting ALS, to speakers all around the world. A Greek comedy captured on 8mm, VHS and BETA tape.

Master and Slave

Original title: Isand ja ori

1992 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Enn Säde

Documentary dedicated to the memory of Jüri Müür. The film about how the master of land - the farmer – becomes the slave of land.

The documentary has documented rural life in Estonia in 1991 "from the idyllic to the idiotic" when there was no Land Reform Act. Restoring farms have started on the level of instincts, with unpolished legislation and without the new land readjustment. Perhaps just based on the farmer's sense of mission ... The filmmakers introduce three new farmers who try to build their homes without much thinking of their health.
