Original title: Masingu maastikud: Surm on öömaja põllul

2006 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Vallo Kepp

The third part of the film trilogy "Masing's Landscape" directed by Vallo Kepp focuses on the inner migration of a creative personality through the Soviet ideology.

The main channel for distributing Masing's work was manual copying. As the last part of the film trilogy, the film follows the scope and influence of such activity while combining the subjects of KGB, Masing's wife and manual copying of Masing's work based on recollections by about thirty people touched by the great man.

An Invitation to the Eternal City

Original title: Kutse igavesse linna

2003 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Rein Raamat

An hour with the amazingly multifaceted Einar Laigna, who clearly and emphatically discusses life’s basic values with the viewer, at a time when ethics tend to be lost from our lives. And thus, the message that he sends to Estonians and other people who love their land is that today is more important than ever before.

Einar Laigna (1937) is a multifaceted man with an aristocratic attitude. He can be called a philosopher, a cultural historian, a theologian, a military historian, a soldier and a blacksmith. Laigna sincerely talks about himself and his development as a personality. His comprehensive monologue expresses self-confidence and total self-assurance. As the chief inspector of Estonian defence army, Laigna positions himself between the attitudes of a soldier, a priest, a philosopher, a wizard, a king and an artisan while defining the world and himself.

Documentary by Märt Müür about the life of Kalev Raave - a head of agricultural holding, member of the communist party and a social activist.

The life of Kalev Raave - a well-known head of an agricultural holding, member of the Communist Party and a social activist - is turned upside down at some point. Raave has been awarded orders and medals; yet, in 1986 he was taken into custody because of an anynymous letter. His case is to draw attention to the torments caused by the authoritarian administration of justice; as a result, the people necessary for society will be suppressed. When Raave left the prison, he found his path to God and started to study theology.
