Immortal

Original title in Estonian: Surematu

2019 | Documentary | Director: Ksenia Ohhapkina

Born to march to the rhythms of the power, they follow the promise of immortality. The film looks at the making of a Russian citizen from a fresh angle.

The film, set in a Far-North industrial town in Russia, reveals the mechanism that entices human beings to voluntarily become a resource to be used by the state. Can a person ever be free in a society, where intricate and obscure structures take control of their mind-set from an early age? The film looks at the making of a Russian citizen from a fresh angle. The director’s subtle but demanding look reveals “the system” at work in the most benign-looking situations, in any moment of the everyday.

The Bus

Original title: Buss

2004 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Laila Pakalniņa

The Tallinn - Kaliningrad bus crosses three borders during one night. Estonian - Latvian, Latvian - Lithuanian and Lithuanian - Russian. It rides on the territories of four countries. The reason for the film about this bus is, at the very lest, because things are not as they were some times ago (during the USSR) and will not be like that in the not so distant future (when the three Baltic States will be in the EU).

The bus line from Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, to the Russian city of Kaliningrad was opened decades ago, at the time when Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and also Russia were part of the Soviet Union — a society where there were no intra-country borders. In May 2004 the Baltic States joined the European Union and now, the Tallinn-Kaliningrad bus has to make three border crossings during one night — Estonia-Latvia, Latvia-Lithuania and Lithuania-Russia. It is the story of one bus — its journey from Tallinn to Kaliningrad. The bus travels through four countries and the passengers exchange four different currencies ...
