Long Live the Scandals!

Original title: Elagu skandaalid ja kollased sandaalid

2018 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Documentary about Estonian contemporary artist Leonhard Lapin.

Leonhard Lapin is the classic and the enfant terrible of Estonian contemporary art, constantly followed by scandals, lewd legends and envious grumbling. Lapin confidently steps on the cornea of mediocrity, enjoying the situation to the fullest. Loved by his muses, the artist is not ashamed of his dalliances. He still has plenty at the grand old age of 70. The new Estonian film opens the doors to a disappearing Bohemianism, in which racy vocabulary reigns instead of political correctness.

2012 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Why do we care for writers who don't care for anything or anybody, even not for themselves? Still we need them and feed them, we love them and give shelter.

Valli`s Bar

Original title: Valli baar

2008 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

All towns in the world have legendary bars and drinking places. Tiny Valli Bar in Tallinn links different times and people and film is a portrait of Estonian drinking scene. Shooting months turned out jolly, but also dramatic, one of the participants was kicked out of home, two died soon after the filming. Drinking was definitely part in all that. We are not against or for drinking, we just want to see and understand it - if this is possible all together.
