Concrete lullaby (1964)

Original title: Kivine hällilaul

Documentary Duration 17:56

Valeria Anderson's fourth documentary is dramaturgically and conceptually complete visual-musical work comparable with the best British industrial documentaries of that era. The strictly logical frame sequence gives a figurative overview of the birth of reinforced concrete wall panel. The documentary was awarded the prize for the best sound (composed by Jaan Rääts) in the film festival of Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Belarus films held in Tallinn in 1965. For Andres Sööt, this was the first recording of an art documentary in Tallinnfilm film studio.
