The Radical

Title in Estonian: Radikaal

2008 | Portrait, Documentary | Director: Andres Maimik, Rain Tolk

Portrait documentary directed by Andres Maimik and Rain Tolk about Margus Lepa – the charismatic programme manager of Nõmme Radio, humorist, and the audience's favorite actor in the film trilogy "Spring", "Summer" and "Autumn".

Legendary entertainer Margus Lepa who also played the role of Jorh Adniel Kiir entered the rows of left-wing politicians, then left these with a scandal and made a radical change – now being a right-wing radio programme leader. Margus Lepa is a one-man band – he interviews, provokes, argues and reveals both real and imagniary conspiracy theories in his radio programmes. Filmmakers attempt to find out what is behind this total transformation and who are the people finding solace from Margus Lepa's bitter rhetorics.

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.
