Rampcramp

Original title: Rambikramp

2008 | Feature film, Short | Director: Katrin Sipelgas, Elen Lotman

A young man, trick bicyclist, loses his self-confidence when he has to create a terrorist persona for a computer game.

One day when riding his BMX bike, Jan has a mental breakdown. It is not that he is having a competition fever – but for some reason, some kind of fear takes away his self-confidence. During the day the pressure grows even stronger, things pile up. Among other things, Jan has to meet a deadline for designing visuals for a new computer game. It's just a gig, but quite an odd one: the player can act the role of Mohanned Attaks who was the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attack. No wonder Jan gets stuck.

Karula National Park

Original title: Karula rahvuspark

2005 | Nature, Overviews, Documentary | Director: Anne-Mari Neider

Documentary about Karula National Park located by the southern border of Estonia.

Karula National Park is situated almost on the southern border of Estonia, far away from big towns. It is a small world – one landscape, one forest, and one parish. The Karula landscape came into being 12 thousand years ago. Estonia was then covered with thick ice, which started to melt and therefore created several unusual shapes of landscape such as the rounded hills, stretched eskers, and ice flow melting slopes. All these forms make Karula almost a textbook example of an ice age-shaped landscape.

This is the story of our country, the way it actually is, the way we see it. A sensitive and an intelligent place with its stories and facts. Sometimes familiar, sometimes strange. Not gone yet. It is a country designed by ...
