My Estonia

Original title: Minu Eestimaa

2005 | Documentary, Overviews | Director: Riina Hein

Documentary about Estonia where its beautiful nature and locations are enriched by interesting facts, connections, beliefs and legends.

Here a totally different layer opens up. This documentary is an inventory of an Estonian spirit before heading towards the superficial Postmodernism era.

Flame of Life

Original title: Elutuli

1987 | Documentary, Observation, Other categories, Commissioned | Director: Peep Puks

Documentary by Peep Puks based on Estonian national identity and culture.

Documentary commissioned by the State Television and Radio Committee of USSR about Estonian history, present day and nature conservation. There is already the touch of the liberating atmosphere of the late 1980s. The documentary is thus free from ideological dictates and nomenclatural situations. Estonian-mindedness is expressed through the selection of topic, visual language as well as the soundtrack. Among the themes there are the national identity of Estonians, fellowship, local nature and culture. The message is slightly circumspect yet emphasizing Estonian mentality and nationality throughout the film.
