Tallinn Spiced Sprats. The Canned Tales

Original title: Tallinna kilud

2011 | Feature film, Short, Other categories | Director: Jaak Kilmi

Jaak Kilmi and Kiur Aarma made the residents of Tallinn to perform the opposition between the manor owner Johann von Uexküll in Riisipere and the Hochedle Rath der Stadt Reval or the higher consilium governing the city of Tallinn back in 16th century.

Playful tale of fantasy about the city of Tallinn told by the stories of local people. The stories of the living and the dead, memories and urban legends, children and skeletons meet here. The almost one-thousand-year-old legend of Tallinn brings all these seemingly different tales together. Manor owner Johann von Üxküll was executed in Tallinn in 1535 for killing peasant Mattis. 12 present day residents of Tallinn reconstruct this old tale in front of cameras – the story about justice and equality.

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.
