MC Battle is the annual big event among Estonian hip-hop community - young rap artists enter a competition in order to find out who is the best one in the field.

MC Battle, the event of the year in Estonian hip-hop scene, can be compared to martial arts, to verbal cannon shooting. It is probably quite an extraordinary phenomenon, a folklore event where the word is a weapon and where the best versifiers try to outperform each other.

Nazis and Blondes

Original title: Fritsud ja blondiinid

2008 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Arbo Tammiksaar

Estonian-Latvian co-production about the "established fascists" - Baltic actors who were used by the Soviet film industry to create the representation of an enemy and to recreate the image of Baltic people as fascists.

Baltic actors had a special and ungrateful role in Soviet history of cinema - Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians appeared on screen as bloodthursty fascists in numerous war films. The filmmakers' question is whether this has influenced the image of the Baltic people? The documentary that has been co-produced by Estonian and Latvian filmmakers tells about artist's responsibility and creative options. The actors - Tõnu Aav from Estonia, Uldis Lieldidžs from Latvia and Algimantas Masiulis from Lithuania - express their opinion on the subject.

Learn languages!

At the river there is a poor guy fishing. He has bare feet, very poor clothes and a wicker basket for fish. Suddenly his bobfloat starts to vibrate and the man pulls up a golden fish. Just after the man unhooks the fish, it starts to speak. Goldfish says proudly that he is not a common fish, but a goldfish. He makes an offer – if the man saves his life, the fish will fulfill any wish the man has. The man is very surprised but instead of saying yes, he replies “No”.

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.
