Time

Original title: Aeg

1983 | Documentary, Overviews, Other categories, Experimental | Director: Mark Soosaar

Mark Soosaar contemplates the passage of time in our lives.

Mark Soosaar made images of life move in fast motion. Hurrying people have been filmed in fast motion, the frames are mingled with more peaceful and better observable images of nature also filmed in fast motion. This contradiction clearly expresses the abyss between the man and eternal nature. Nature becomes sublime, the human being becomes an ant. However, human creation becomes monumental. Time won't move and always stays the same. TIme passes by and we are hurrying through time.

The Smacking Sea

Original title: Karge meri

1981 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Arvo Kruusement

The film directed by Arvo Kruusement is based on the novel "The Smacking Sea" by August Gailit and takes the audience to an island where its inhabitants live according to the community traditions. The visual side of the film emphasizes the everyday life, traditions and ethnography of the fishermen and seal hunters of Ruhnu Island and depicts the picturesqueness of its nature and village landscapes.

When an islander comes with his decorated boat to propose to Katrina, she will need some time for figuring out what to do since she hardly knows the man. However, they will start their journey back to Matt Ruhve's home island even before the sunset. This is the island with its own laws where the strangers are not welcome and where even love tastes a bit like a sea salt.

Wedding Picture

Original title: A потoм оглянулся…

1980 | Feature film, Short | Director: Raul Tammet

Psychologial sci-fi film directed by Raul Tammet about human responsibility and the irreversible consequences of it.

First it seems that the film tells a common, modern story about a lonely old man and his life, both lived and unlived. Yet, the components of science-fiction in the film make the audience think about the ephemerality of real life from the perspective of eternity. While walking in the forest, the old man named Ants finds a man who has landed with an unknown flying object. The young man has the ability to move back in time. He will take the old man back to the year 1939 with his special chronometer. It is the year when the wedding ...

Title in Estonian: Pulmapildid

1979 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Andres Sööt

Filmmaker Andres Sööt observes new wedding traditions in the Soviet Estonia in 1970s.

Filmmakers observe two wedding parties that combine all kinds of things: folk dances and the 1970s pop music, disco, Soviet registering of marriage, compulsory vodka drinking and the efforts of the master of the ceremony to preserve old wedding traditions. The formal way of entertainment of the new generation's master of ceremony takes his job seriously – and the organization of a wedding party becomes the portrait of an era with the touch of absurd. The portrait makes it difficult to recognize former Estonians from the wedding pictures, taken half a century ago.
