2 Hours to Happiness

Original title: 2 tundi õnneni

2022 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Moonika Siimets

Poetical documentary film of the longing for and the search of happiness between Estonia and Finland.

More than 70,000 Estonians live and work in Finland, at the same time as their families, parents, children and homes are in Estonia. The documentary film speaks about adjusting to new conditions, sticking to and loosing one’s roots, the yearning for and the search for happiness. The film is a humorously wistful documentation of families living in the snowy fields of Lapland, apartments in Vantaa, on the staircases of shopping malls, at construction sites, hotel lobbies, and of grandchildren in the living rooms of Estonian grandmothers who are waiting for their children to come home.

It is a country designed by ...

Erki Kasemets

2002 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Meelis Salujärv

A documentary about the strange creative world of artist Erki Kasemets.

Erki Kasemets creates his artwork on the verge of degradation. He gets inspired by worthless objects - he seems to draw his ideas like playing cards among debris and later throws them back there. Among his artwork are the following: documenting his personal life, Theatre Polygon, garbage art, performances, machines, kinetic art, games and inventing game rules. Erki Kasemets is an environmental artist. Nothing will be left from his exhibitions - his artwork has been combined by the residue of civilization and after being exhibited in the gallery the pieces will often go back to the dumping ground. Context is ...
