Freedom Starts from Within

Original title: Vabadus algab seest. Kai-Mai Olbri autoportree

2009 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Kai-Mai Olbri

This film's central theme is freedom - human and above all artist's freedom: artistic, spiritual and physical, observed retroactively by the author herself. This sincere and confessional biography examines the author's complicated and versatile artistic nature. Marriage to a loved one brings on a clear understanding of responsibility. You become positive, that happy co-existence is what allows a human being to feel free. It is because of that freedom, that you can take on new challenges and understand, that be it painting, writing, acting, or filming - your art is one whole.

Original title: Dirigendi kõla

2007 | Documentary, Portrait, Music Documentary | Director: Peter Murdmaa, Helle Karis

Portrait documentary about Eri Klas, a legendary Estonian musician, through his creative and private life.

Eri Klas is inspired by the feeling of joy in his life - joy for his work, friends, colleagues, but most of all - for his family and homeland. See rõõm on kaasakiskuv ja ammendamatu, hoolimata sellest, et tema saatus pole olnud pilvitu. Ajaloo käik ja isiklikud kaotused, töötempo ja rahvusvaheline tuntus võivad inimese sisemises muusikas tekitada ebakõlasid. Eri Klasi kõla on jäänud puhtaks.
