Kõverdama

2022 | Other categories, Experimental | Director: Karl Kaisel

Film koosneb katkistest ja ebatäielikest 3D-skannidest Kõverdama elustikust. Need jutustavad loo paigase sellisena, nagu see kunagi oli, ja mis sellest saab.

Kasvasin Eesti rabametsas, mille nimi on Kõverdama. Praegu plaanib kaevandusfirma Kõverdama metsa maha võtta, et laiendada turba kaevandamist aiandusmuldade tootmiseks. Film koosneb katkistest ja ebatäielikest 3D-skannidest Kõverdama elustikust. Need jutustavad loo paigase sellisena, nagu see kunagi oli, ja mis sellest saab. Linateoses hõljuvad puude kummitused hävitatud maastike kohal, lilled kasvavad läbistatud kohtades, mälestused hiilivad katkises maailmas. On selge, et metsa ei saa teisendada numbriteks ja piltideks, paariks liigiks või resurssideks. Kui see hävitatakse, jääb see ikkagi kummitama.

Original title: Orhideliirium. Rip-Off

2022 | Other categories, Experimental | Director: Kristina Norman

The maid embarks on a journey that requires cunning and magic to become an artist and gain the privileges of a lady of the manor.

In the film the intimate tension between a lady of the manor and her servant keen to mimic her mistress is embodied by a pair of Doppelgängers. The performance of the two women becomes increasingly intimate, embodying and eroticising the tension between the colonizer and the colonized and the entanglement of their fantasies and desires. The film is set in various manor houses in Estonia, the architectural legacy of foreign colonial power. Prior to the collapse of the Russian empire the manors used to belong to the German-speaking nobility that had dominated the Baltics for centuries. In the film, the ...

Orchidelirium. Thirst

Original title: Orhideliirium. Janu

2022 | Other categories, Experimental | Director: Kristina Norman

The film is a post-human choreography of displaced plants and machines.

The film is a post-human choreography of displaced plants and machines. The thirst for luxury and abundance is the force that keeps the capitalist machinery running. The dry wells and the thirst for drinking water is what the local communities in Estonia are left with as the fragile wetlands are being drained for peat excavation in their neighbourhoods. Millions of tons of Estonian peat end up in greenhouses in the Netherlands where peat is needed as a component of the soil substrate for phalaenopsis orchids. While the mass-produced orchids may seem like a pathetic mimicry of what once was an ...

Something has changed. At an unknown point in time, the surface of the oceans have risen and the world has been partially submerged. A second source of light glows in the sky next to the sun. Here and there appear figures from old archived photos, petrified in time. An abstract sense of loss lingers in the air, for something or somebody immeasurably far away. After Betelgeuse is a film about a feeling of homesickness caused by the unwanted demise of one’s home environment whilst travelling simultaneously between past, present and future. Narrated in the dormant Livonian language, and inspired by a ...

Time Quartet: In The Storm of Roses

Original title: Ajakvartett: Rooside rajus

2022 | Other categories, Experimental | Director:

The nurse looks after the roses; the grandchild teaches Granny TikTok; ancient Romans walk around in the garden to the sounds of a saxophone. Countries, roads and people branch out in branching times.

The short film is an attempt to visually reflect our time through a specific person, a retired nurse Helgi Kuusik. We see her in her Haanjamaa farm and in her rose garden, which she established years ago while working in Helsinki hospitals and commuting between Estonia and Finland. The brief scenes in an idyllic rural location, staged in the manner of Victorian era paintings, are linked with more realistic shots about Helgi's trip to East-Helsinki to visit her daughter's family.
