Local Urbanites

Original title: Lokaalsed linlased

2022 | Documentary | Director: Maria Uppin

In the documentary film we try to explore how difficult it is to carry out a bigger vision that would update Estonian urban space.

Is a town planned for cars or people? This question seems to become more acute every day. One such battlefield is the Tallinn Main Street project but similar fights are going on in almost every town in Estonia. In the documentary film we try to explore how difficult it is to carry out a bigger vision that would update Estonian urban space.

But Where Should We Play Today

Original title: Aga kus me täna mängime

1982 | Documentary | Director: Tiina Mägi

Children of the old town of Tallinn need their own playground.

The beautiful freshly painted facades of the old town of Tallinn won't make the filthy, disordered backyards non-existent. What should be done to make these places inviting for both adults and children? How to create a home yard? Architect Hardi Metsa, head of old town housing association Riina Masso and engineer Harri Kuusik express their opinion on the subject. The boys and girls of the youth club "Kodulinn" help to clean the inner yards of the old town and make them cozy.

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
