Flame of Life

Original title: Elutuli

1987 | Other categories, Commissioned, Documentary, Observation | Director: Peep Puks

Documentary by Peep Puks based on Estonian national identity and culture.

Documentary commissioned by the State Television and Radio Committee of USSR about Estonian history, present day and nature conservation. There is already the touch of the liberating atmosphere of the late 1980s. The documentary is thus free from ideological dictates and nomenclatural situations. Estonian-mindedness is expressed through the selection of topic, visual language as well as the soundtrack. Among the themes there are the national identity of Estonians, fellowship, local nature and culture. The message is slightly circumspect yet emphasizing Estonian mentality and nationality throughout the film.

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.
