Man and Nature (1975)

Original title: Inimene ja loodus

Documentary Duration 30:03

The filmmaker has recorded special episodes about Estonian nature and people for whom nature is important, whether they be officials or amateurs – among others hunting biologist Harri Põldsam, students from the nature club at Tartu State University and Estonian Agricultural Academy (tutored by Jaan Eilart) and doctor of infectious diseases Mart Martson who has discovered his interest towards bird watching and research besides his daily professional work. All these conversations are surrounded by rare views from the world of nature: grouses' mating dance, a litter of helpless wolf cubs, Alpine butterwort, the blunt-flowered rush, Saaremaa yellow rattle etc.
