Tõnu Kõrvits. Moorland Elegies

Original title: Tõnu Kõrvits. Lageda laulud

2018 | Documentary, Portrait, Music Documentary | Director: Marianne Kõrver

A documentary film about a composer Tõnu Kõrvits, his music and the people who are deeply touched by his music.

Toys and Totems

Original title: Nukud ja tootemid

2017 | Documentary, Animation, Puppet | Director: Kadriann Kibus, Sergei Kibus

We play to evoke the ideal, and anything is possible.  Then we grow up and everything is impossible.

Some objects in our lives are more significant than others, be they ritual artifacts or childhood toys. Their life-stories intertwine with our own. Reflecting to and from their significant objects, children create reality, and so can grown-ups. The film, with its documentary stories, stop-motion animation and associative imagery, pays tribute to the humans’ bittersweet yearning for re-connection and transformation. Ritual objects and children’s toys can be equally infused with the power to change our perceived reality. Playing is a cosmological act that can make anything possible.
