2015 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Toomas Järvet

Maher, a former political prisoner, an electrical engineer by profession, but an artist at heart, a man who starts a quest against the society, cultural norms and his family in order to stage the first original contemporary dance performance in Palestinian history.

Maher, a former political prisoner, an electrical engineer by profession, but an artist at heart, is a man who starts a quest against the society in order to stage the first original contemporary dance performance in Palestinian history. But to do so he must overcome several obstacles – time, money, insured dancer, his disapproving family and friends, and cultural norms. Set in today’s most contested location, Maher’s story is at once a parable about a society in conflict, and a modern take on — and inversion of — "The Jazz Singer," where the real war is between dreams and tradition.

The Art of Motion

Original title of the film: Kulgemise kunst

2002 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Ove Musting

Dancer and choreographer Teet Kask's story of creating and the art of going with the flow.

The documentary observes one of Teet Kask´s dance perfomances - the story of its creation and internal development. The art of creating, usually individual and secret, suddenly becomes comprehensible. This, primarily thanks to the creator, Teet Kask, and his open and humorous dialoque with himself. As the film runs its course, an organic reasoning is found behind the incorporation of the creative work of the Young Choreographer and Old Boy (one translation of the Lao-zi name) into an audiovisual sketch-portrait.
