A captivating historical documentary with plenty of animation about the destiny of a popular Estonian caricaturist Gori (1894 - 1944) between the two World Wars when total powers leave less and less choices to the talented artist.

This film is an interweaving of documentary narrative and animation.

Pärnography

Original title: Mees animatsoonist

2005 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Hardi Volmer

"Pärnography" is a great introduction to the works of Pärn and serves as a great portrait film about the 'man from animazone'.

Additionally, they are critical of the society, piercing the deepest levels of human consciousness. A closer examination of Pärn and other Estonian animators reveals that Estonia was not sung or fought to freedom. It was liberated via animation!
