6 Hours

Original title: 6 tundi

2005 | Documentary, Overviews | Director: Rein Kotov

During six hours thousands of tourists from the American cruise ship are being introduced to the city of Tallinn - they are provided with a short city tour enriched by subjective commentaries of local guides and some souvenirs.

Huge cruise ships come to Tallinn in summer, each one carrying thousands of tourists, mostly from the United States. They stay in Tallinn just for 6 hours. Endless lines of bus-drivers, tour-guides and tour-managers await them in the harbour. The cruisers rush through the main sightseeing locations, eat out in town and board on the ship again. Tallinn was just another pit-stop on their long route. The pier is filled with waving customer servants exhausted from the day’s tense work. “6 Hours” tells a humorous story about one summer day in one of the Eastern European town called Tallinn.

Terra Maritima

Original title: Terra Maritima

2001 | Documentary, Nature | Director: Ago Ruus

The basis for the dynamic community of the European Union is the harmonization of certain rules. This applies to preservation of nature as well, and thus we hear more and more about the mysterious Natura 2000. Natura 2000 is a Europe-wide network of nature preserves, consisting of bird preserves and nature preserves. A large part of the existing preserves in Estonia fit surprisingly easily into Natura 2000. The film shows the types of habitats in western Estonia, because it was here that the pilot project for Natura 2000 was launched. This land is many thousands of years younger than the inland – even now the earth’s crust is rising here and the land being born from the ocean – Terra Maritima – has a thousand faces. In addition to the coastline, the film introduces various types of meadows - all very valuable habitats.
