The Diary of Vaino Vahing

Original title: Vaino Vahingu päevaraamat

2021 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Rainer Sarnet

When love is the greatest torment, will art or play save you? A dramatic documentary about author Vaino Vahing.

In 1968–1984, Vaino Vahing kept a diary about real events and persons in his own subjective interpretation. It reflects cultural life of Tartu, love affairs, bohemian parties and intellectual quests of the time. Vahing was interested in borderline situations, crossing the borders. He drew no clear line between art and life. Vahing provoked people, tried to make them to lose their masks, their self control. He called this provoking the Spiel, or play. We are looking at a creator who has made disharmony his source of inspiration, who experiences “the greatest torment in love”. One who fears to lose himself ...

More than Life

Original title: Enam kui elu

2018 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Indrek Spungin, Taavi Arus

This is the story of the last genuine rock star and poet, of his work, and of the anatomy of a punk band.

Freddy Grenzmann is Estonia’s last rock star and the singer of the punk rock band Psychoterror. He’s also a poet. The rock star phenomenon is beyond ordinary norms. It’s larger than life. It can approvingly be said of Freddy that he isn’t normal – not on stage nor in life. Freddy’s oeuvre and life are equivalent – he gives everything his all. What makes Freddy interesting is not the delight of social or textual games but rather the magnitude of what he puts at stake, the possibility of completely losing himself, and the depth of foreseeable human or metaphysical distress.
