Gardens Of The Morning Calm

Original title: Tulevalvajad

2023 | Documentary | Director: Liis Nimik

A primal and oneiric documentary about nature and creativity.

The life of Endel Saarepuu (70) is filled with art. The older the artist gets, the easier his life becomes and the more talking is his work.

Endel Saarepuu was born to be an artist. No other role that life has offered for Endel, has ever lasted. The house, where his family was once supposed to live, has now become a home for hundreds or wooden sculptures, stained glass works and drawings. The older the artist gets, the easier his life becomes and the more talking is his work. A sketch on a piece of paper or the client's wish is just an impulse.

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.

Portrait documentary about painter Lembit Sarapuu.

Lembit Sarapuu is an artist who creates myths while increasingly identifying himself with his artwork - becoming a myth himself.
