Travelling Potters (2004)

Original title: Potisetod tulevad

Documentary Duration 50:00

Cheerful and fast-paced documentary about the potters from Seto region having a jolly journey on horse carriages through Setoland to the Hanseatic Days in Tartu. In summers of 2002 and 2003, boys loaded the horse carriages full of Seto pottery and rode with the cartload from village to village as ancient Seto people. They did so in order to sell or exchange pottery items for food, accommodation and clothes, to acknowledge the presence of Seto people and look for the traces of former Seto potters as well as to collect the folklore and traditions.
