Pictures from the XXth Century Estonia

Original title: Möödunud sajandi Eestist

2000 | Documentary | Director: Andres Sööt

Documentary directed by Andres Sööt has recorded the years of 1996 and 1997 as a continuation to the earlier annual film chronicles "Year of the Dragon" and "Year of the Horse".

Documentary by Andres Sööt about the years of 1996 and 1997. The film chronicle covering two years can be viewed as a continuation to Sööt's earlier films "Year of the Dragon" and "Year of the Horse". All three documentaries are the portraits of years, modelled by the director himself. There is neither a systematic nor exhaustive approach towards the selected times in history - what has been followed is the chronological order of events. Andres Sööt documents and comments both from a neutral as well as his personal point of view.

During his unfair imprisonment in the Soviet Estonia a head of sovkhoz gets a divine revelation and he will enter a deal with God in order to set himself free.

When he was 62 years old, he became a church minister. With his rich life experience and natural kindness, Kalev Raave won people's hearts and he started to restore Halliste church in Viljandi county, Estonia.

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.
