Gori The Caricaturist

Original title: Gorikaturist

2023 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Raimo Jõerand, Meelis Arulepp

A captivating historical documentary with plenty of animation about the destiny of a popular Estonian caricaturist Gori (1894 - 1944) between the two World Wars when total powers leave less and less choices to the talented artist.

This film is an interweaving of documentary narrative and animation. The first, based on historical sources, conveys Gori's biography, world events, and mediates the press and political life of the republican time. It moves along historical facts, is initially easy and fun, and in the end cruel and ruthless. Since there are no living witnesses from this era, nor are there biographers of Gori, the direct sources are photographs, old film clips, newspaper articles, sound recordings, letters and drawings. These are supported by historians and experts with their knowledge of life between the wars, the modernisation of Estonian society, the ...

Man Wanted

2020 | Animation, Puppet | Director: Irida Zhonga

The main character Stuart is not a perfect man as we all are. He can’t decide who or what dedicate his life to. Though, he has to make choices as all the temptations start surrounding him from all sides.

Stuart is a young man who enters a metro station full of posters and ads of beautiful men and women. Walking down the stairs, he gets immersed in a world he cannot control, and finds himself in a strange trajectory that leads to a chase in empty wagons, full of whispers and shadows in half-lit stations. He tries to get away from all the things that chase him and make him conform: the faces of people in the posters which come to life and haunt him, the framework that threatens to embody and immobilise him; a chase even from his own self.
