One, no one

Original title in Estonian: Üks, ei ühtki

2022 | Students film, Documentary | Director: Joosep Ehasalu

Joosep Ehasalu’s thesis documentary plunges the filmmaker into his own personal chaos and searches for ways to get out of there. All in the form of an audiovisual diary.

For yourself you are one, for another no one. And all around there are thousands of opinions. A diary film about self-reflecting and connecting different states of mind, people and places from the past and the present. It is all soaked in the question: has the filmmaker really changed in the last 7 years?

1980 | Feature film, Short | Director: Raul Tammet

Psychologial sci-fi film directed by Raul Tammet about human responsibility and the irreversible consequences of it.

First it seems that the film tells a common, modern story about a lonely old man and his life, both lived and unlived. Yet, the components of science-fiction in the film make the audience think about the ephemerality of real life from the perspective of eternity. While walking in the forest, the old man named Ants finds a man who has landed with an unknown flying object. The young man has the ability to move back in time.

Little Requiem for Harmonica

Original title: Väike reekviem suupillile

1972 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Veljo Käsper

The film directed by Veljo Käsper is based on the short story "Little Requiem for Harmonica" by Enn Vetemaa, telling the story about understanding between different generations.

Jaan and Heiki are two students crossing the river of time in 1972. On the other side of that river is the occupied Estonia in the autumn of 1944. The film is about the painful collision between two eras and two mentalities. The young men have to make difficult decisions in order to stay alive. The film conveys the message that is against war, Fascism, Bourgeois nationalism, and abstract humanism; it supports the idea of understanding between generations and the unity of ideals and objectives.

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.
