Master and Slave

Original title: Isand ja ori

1992 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Enn Säde

Documentary dedicated to the memory of Jüri Müür. The film about how the master of land - the farmer – becomes the slave of land.

The documentary has documented rural life in Estonia in 1991 "from the idyllic to the idiotic" when there was no Land Reform Act. Restoring farms have started on the level of instincts, with unpolished legislation and without the new land readjustment. Perhaps just based on the farmer's sense of mission ... The filmmakers introduce three new farmers who try to build their homes without much thinking of their health.

Once You Mock the Field ...

Original title: Narri põldu üks kord

1981 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Enn Säde

Documentary on a problematic issue - namely the crop husbandry and land improvement in a non-chernozemic zone in the Soviet Estonia.

The documentary is dedicated to land improvement, agricultural tools and the peculiarity of Estonian soil - the non-chernozemic zone. A special attention is being given to melioration and soil preparation, but also to the rational use of soil preparation tools in bigger production enterprises. Human relation to the prepared land is being viewed, namely the moments of alienation of the relation. The filmmakers have chosen publicist means of expression both in image and in text.

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.
