The Opinionator

Original title: Meeleavaldaja

2003 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Meelis Muhu

Retired Esja Šur, a Russian citizen living in Sillamäe, Estonia spends her elderly days while organizing demonstrations, meetings and pickets.

Journalists write about her, politicians tremble because of her, Estonians curse her and the Security Police observes her - the energetic old woman Esja Šur organizes demonstrations, writes memorandums and claims. Even if the efficiency of all her activities is close to zero, the old lady won't give up. Esja enjoys the beauty of the game; her sense of humour becomes prominent in situations where her opponents feel confused. All this is accompanied by a court action that has gradually grown into a big case.

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.
