The Giraffe

Original title: Kaelkirjak

There lives only one animal in the zoo – a giraffe. No one except a little girl comes to visit it.

There lives only one animal in the zoo – a giraffe. No one except a little girl comes to visit it. To attract visitors the director of the zoo orders an advertising giraffe. But then it turns out that people are enraptured by the artificial giraffe not the living one. There begins a public “giraffe boom”. The film ridicules the enthusiasm for artificial and counterfeit common to mass culture.

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.
