Long Live the Scandals!

Original title: Elagu skandaalid ja kollased sandaalid

2018 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Documentary about Estonian contemporary artist Leonhard Lapin.

Leonhard Lapin is the classic and the enfant terrible of Estonian contemporary art, constantly followed by scandals, lewd legends and envious grumbling. Lapin confidently steps on the cornea of mediocrity, enjoying the situation to the fullest. Loved by his muses, the artist is not ashamed of his dalliances. He still has plenty at the grand old age of 70. The new Estonian film opens the doors to a disappearing Bohemianism, in which racy vocabulary reigns instead of political correctness.

2017 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Karol Ansip

Shortly before Estonia regained its independence, a painting studio came into being, a studio that was guided by principles of painting that dated back to the First Republic. Heldur Viires, the leader and teacher of the school, has been passing on his knowledge of colour and light for thirty meaningful years.

An authentic Pallasian (disciple of Pallas Higher Art School), Heldur Viires is not just admired but also loved and cared for by his students. A true master who continued sharing his painterly advice even at the age of 89, when he still visited the studio every afternoon to have a look at the nudes painted that morning. An old-school gentleman whose students gather together every year on the 24th of February to raise a glass of sparkling wine to the Estonian Republic. A vigilant spirit who has shared the path with Ülo Sooster, Henn Roode, Kaja Kärner, Lembit Saarts and ...
