Indrek

Original title: Indrek

1975 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Mikk Mikiver

The first feature film directed by Mikk Mikiver is based on the play "Man and God" staged by Voldemar Panso in 1962 in Estonian Drama Theatre. The story is based on the second part of pentalogy "Truth and Justice" by Anton Hansen Tammsaare.

Indrek Paas studies in Maurus private grammar school and is the tallest and oldest boy in his class. This does not seem to interest Mr Maurus though. An Estonian boy must get an opportunity to study if he really wants to. However, it turns out that it is not the most important principle at that school. In fact, there is no principle that cannot be escaped under certain conditions here. Indrek gets to know truths that may turn out to be wrong, and lies that may lead to truth. Indrek meets a girl whom he can give a name himself ...

FIre in the Night

Original title: Tuli öös

1973 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Valdur Himbek

The children's film directed by Valdur HImbek is based on the story "Fire in the Darkened City" by Eno Raud, telling about the schoolchildren's fearless games with fire during the German occupation.

Ülo and Olev think the German occupation is humiliating and the soldiers are arrogant. But even among Estonians there are people who cannot be trusted - this can have fatal consequences. Witty schoolboys find out that Mr Velirand, who has moved in the apartment that once belonged to their teacher, is a henchman of Fascists. The boys make up their minds to give people warning about the provocator, even if the rebellion is risky and their opponent superior, compared to the St George's Night Uprising in 1343.

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.
