Hippodrome

Originaalpealkiri: Hipodroom

2021 | Documentary, Observation | Director: Vladimir Loginov

An ode to a faded jewel in the heart of the Estonian capital – Tallinn Hippodrome. Once a majestic racecourse track, all that is left is a lonely horse stable. Today it has become a social club for bizarre parties, engagement photo sessions and a home for young girls and old men taking care of the remaining racehorses.

Located in the heart of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, the Hippodrome used to be the centre of entertainment for all its neighbouring countries. For nearly 100 years, it has lured visitors with bets and races, and the chance to try their luck with the totalisator. All that remains today of this majestic racecourse is a lonely horse stable.

2018 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Lauri Lagle

Lauri Lagle's first feature film is profound and smooth like a summer's night. It is a physical progression and a mental journey towards something other than a mere geographical location on a map.

Karina and Martin are in a pleasant relation where everyday life flows in an effortlessly accustomed way and no small misbehaviour can shake it’s rush. Life is good. Perhaps it's this perfection and frequent patterns that make them finally pose a question - is everything to be expected in life? This is a story about following the yearning of your soul. Longing for something other than the present and having the courage to be deliberately lost. The characters in the film are looking for a place of love and understanding in the world. Their journey is playful, mellow and thoroughly human. It ...

Lights in The Night

Original title: Tuled öös

2007 | Animation, Cartoon | Director: Heiki Ernits

A poem with a melancholy undertone about solitude and longing.

A poem with a melancholy undertone about solitude and longing. We see a row of windows of an apartment building. Individual windows at first – some windows are dark, some are open and people bustle about, living, being born, dying, splitting up, rejoicing, being sad. We briefly see around twenty tiny incidents in the lives of various people – as much as can be seen through an open window or an opening in the curtains. This is perhaps only a completely insignificant and random moment, but nevertheless, if we imagine further, we can guess what might ...

An intellectual ride into a grotesque train-society witch depicts a train that passes through different landscapes, through the turning points of the closing century.

An intellectual ride into a grotesque train-society witch depicts a train that passes through different landscapes. But it is not the usual scenery one would expect to see out of the moving train, but rather scenes that reflect the different societies represented on the train.
