But to do so he must overcome several obstacles – time, money, insured dancer, his disapproving family and friends, and cultural norms.

Belowed Be The One Who Sits Down

2013 | Students film, Short | Director: Vytautas Tinteris

This short film uses minimalistic audiovisual tools to raises existential questions. The protagonist, who is played by different actors, sits in a white, seemingly endless space and sticks to his choice not to participate in this world. His stillness is his silent protest towards the life itself.

A man is sitting on a chair throughout different stages of his life and is confronted by a voice, which always reproaches the protagonist not meeting the generally accepted standards of the society. Already from the moment of birth a human is expected to educate himself in all the meanings of this word, so that he could eventually become a useful part of the society. But what happens if a man refuses to concede to such expectations? What happens if a man is honest to himself and remains motionless throughout his whole life?

1968 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Andres Sööt

Andres Sööt, a legendary documentary filmmaker in Estonia, records the environments and people in Tallinn cafes with his candid camera in late 1960s.

The film introduces a selection of various guest types in cafes and night clubs in late 1960s when old ladies still had some bourgeois manners from the first republic of Estonia and the youngsters of the Soviet regime were not served in a restaurant if they had no proper clothing. The guests of Tallinn's legendary cafes "Pearl" and "Moscow" were filmed in their own time. The uniqueness of the film is expressed through a strangely independent soundtrack that observes everyday bustle from the heights of melancholy poetry and remote uranography. Artur Alliksaar's poetry is read by Aarne Üksküla.
