History Exam

Original title: Ajaloo eksam

1988 | Documentary | Director: Vello Kallaste

Documentary by Vello Kallaste about Hans Kruus, a historian and politician with colourful destiny, in the turmoil of historical events.

Hans Kruus (1891-1976) was a left-wing academician who had high-rank positions in state institutions after the war: he was the People's Commissar of the foreign affairs in the Estonian SSR and later the head of Academy of Sciences of Estonian SSR. His career was interrupted when he became ostrasized by Stalinist repression as a bourgeois nationalist in 1950. The filmmakers have used archival materials about the events of early days of Soviet order in Estonian SSR.

Original title: Eelkäija

1967 | Documentary | Director: Vladimir Karasjov

Artistic, photographic documentary by Vladimir Karasyov about the life of Viktor Kingissepp and the revolutionary events in Estonia.

The documentary based on photographs and archival documents tells about the life of Viktor Kingissepp and the revolutionary events in Estonia. WIth the help of the scarce documentary materials that have been preserved, filmmakers try to cast light on the life of the revolutionist, starting from his early years in Kuressaare until his death in 1922. The film provides an opportunity to take a look at Viktor Kingissepp's thoughts and the events of that time as if viewed by the protagonist himself a few hours before his execution.

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.
