Master and Slave

Original title: Isand ja ori

1992 | Problem oriented, Documentary | 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.

Estonian limestone

Title in Estonian: Eestimaa paas

1988 | Documentary | Director: Gennadi Meleško

Documentary commissioned by the committee of construction of USSR introducing the Estonian national stone – limestone.

The scrutinous and compendious documentary introduces one of the most important natural resource in Estonia – the limestone – its origin, location, mining and use during the thousands of years. Estonian limestones – slate, dolomite rocks – have been in use as construction materials in Estonia already for the last 3000 years, standing as the second best construction materials next to wood. The filmmakers bring numerous examples about the use of limestone: starting from stone burials, stone fences and ending with the important colossal buildings in Estonian culture history. Comments by the screenwriter, publicist and construction historian Hubert Matve.
