The Bird Watcher

Original title: Vaatleja

1987 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Arvo Iho

The first feature film directed by Arvo Iho analyzes the relationships between women, men and nature in the spirit of antique Greek tragedy.

Estonian student Peeter meets Aleksandra in the wildlife area for birds in Far North where the landscape is beautiful and harsh. Aleksandra has not been treated well by life and she has given up hope to be happy; she just tries to survive. Peeter's pure and passionate love towards nature won't leave much space for Aleksandra's compromises. There is just one option left - to be together. And neither of them has a clue that their relationship will bring together their destinies.

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.
