2008 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Liina Paakspuu

The first full-length feature film directed by Liina Paakspuu gives a cartoon-like description of the way the dreams and reality of common people clash. In order to escape this, one has to have confidence in themselves and some luck.

Liina comes to the city while hoping to find opportunities to start her own life there.

Valli`s Bar

Original title: Valli baar

2008 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Shooting months turned out jolly, but also dramatic, one of the participants was kicked out of home, two died soon after the filming. Drinking was definitely part in all that. We are not against or for drinking, we just want to see and understand it - if this is possible all together.

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.
