The Irredeemable Optimist: a Portrait of Director Ove Musting

Original title in Estonian: "Paadunud optimist: režissöör Ove Mustingu portree"

2019 | Students film, Documentary | Director: Eva Ligi Aydoğmuş

Students Eva Ligi Aydoğmuş and Deisi Helemäe-Sarv portrayed director Ove Musting in their documentary film to address TV concerns in the background.

While director Ove Musting is a top professional of the Estonian television landscape, his fame and acclaim belie a dark truth: work is scarce, most projects never end up on air and those that do are shot with such stress-inducingly low budgets that the only way to unwind is to stomp directly to the sea or on the stage – as a guitarist in a punkband.

In the Air

Original title: Õhus

2009 | Animation, Cartoon | Director: Martinus Daane Klemet

The telecommunication between the wolf and humans leads to a situation where the law of gravity changes to the unknown.

A television set attached to a small parachute falls through a glass ceiling and changes the way people live and let themselves be influenced. From the small magical screen, practically everything can be transferred until a wolf starts taking things into his own paws and changes the laws of gravity into something completely different. The Dadaistic style of mutual association creates a dream-like atmosphere of absurd humor.
