Artistic documentary by Ülo Tambek about oil shale mining and the life of miners in Estonia in 1970s.

Every generation and every individual has always had their personal land of promise, El Dorado, land of wishes coming true and of high hopes. When one struggles for survival, the results can sometimes be unpredictable; yet, there are places where people are given everything they have ever dreamed. Even the oil shale mining has seen adventurers, some have left, some have stayed to the end so that the word "miner" has meant everything for them. El Dorado is the land where one ceaselessly fights for their happiness and territory, from generation to generation.

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.
