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. She is someone who still believes in miracles and is able to make them happen. Someone who’s not afraid to set challenges for herself and meet them... She is Kristiina, herself.

The Diary of Vaino Vahing

Original title: Vaino Vahingu päevaraamat

2021 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Rainer Sarnet

When love is the greatest torment, will art or play save you? A dramatic documentary about author Vaino Vahing.

We are looking at a creator who has made disharmony his source of inspiration, who experiences “the greatest torment in love”. One who fears to lose himself ...

The Real Rannap

Original title: Päris Rannap

2021 | Documentary, Portrait | Director: Aleksander Ots, Kaidi Klein

Estonian music is priceless, but his personality is very complex and contradictory. The authors of the film were above all attracted to the personality of the composer, driven by the desire to pull the mask off the maestro and show the real Rannap to the extent possible.

Composer and pianist Rein Rannap’s contribution to Estonian music is priceless, but his personality is very complex and contradictory. In numerous TV shows, viewers have met exactly the Rannap that he chooses to show them at that very moment. He has a superb ability to put on a mask and present carefully composed text in interviews. When cameras are rolling, Rein slips into his role. He can play the role very colourfully, creating conflicts and throwing juicy comments at singers at rehearsals. The authors of the film were above all attracted to the personality of the composer, driven by the ...
