Walker on Water

Original title: Vetelkõndija

2022 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Anu Aun

A documentary about being a woman, told through the life and work of Estonia’s most beloved and internationally most known contemporary poetess Kristiina Ehin.

There’s a character in poetess and prose writer Kristiina Ehin’s book “The Last of the Monogamists” who walks on water. This person is looking for two things in life – love and truth.

The Dress

Original title: Kleit

2007 | Animation, Puppet | Director: Girlin Bassovskaja

A woman tries to remember the highlights of her life, or maybe dreams about them.

A woman tries to remember the highlights of her life, or maybe dreams about them. Who is that woman, whose dress knows a beautiful-exiting life with kitchen utensils? We don't see the woman never intact, though we move along her body, rather along her dress, since the dress and the body can be the same. From time to time different insects appear as to laugh over the woman's innocent dreams, just as guzzling and unreliable dreams. They predict the end and death, nobody knows - through guillotine or kitchen knife.
