2017 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Triin Ruumet

At the end of the world there is a cafe where we all once will meet. The documentary tells a story of a person, the system that surrounds him and communication between these two parameters.

November

2017 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Rainer Sarnet

Visual fairy tale for adults directed by Rainer Sarnet. The feature film combines black comedy and romance.

"November" is based on Estonian novel "Rehepapp" by Andrus Kivirähk, a bestseller of the last twenty years. The film is a mixture of magic, black humor and romantic love.

Dearest Sister

Original title in Lao: Nong Hak

2016 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Mattie Do

A Lao village girl’s only chance of escaping indentured poverty is to manipulate her wealthy cousin’s illness into dependence.

Nok packs her sparse belongings, and after an argument with her fiancé, she boards an overnight bus out of her rural village for the Lao capital of Vientiane.

2016 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Mart Kivastik

There are two people who wake up in the same bed one morning, and neither of them has a clue who the other is. Viivi would like to run away and the man is sleeping like a log. Unlike Viivi and Andu themselves, the viewers know both very well. They know that Viivi has the worst day in her life and that Andu is a dweeb, but not completely hopeless; a rather good-hearted man.

Viivi, still on the young side, but lonely, discovers a strange man in her bed one beautiful morning. Panicking, the woman tries to reconstruct the events of the previous day in her head. It appears that it must have been one of the worst days in her life: an aching shoulder, being late for work, a diagnosis by her doctor, and, as a result of it all, an evening in the pub where she realises that you can be as neat and good as you like, but you still need luck… The man who Viivi finds between the sheets in Andres, ...
