‘6 tundi’ (6 Hours) – [G] 2005
Genre: Documentary
When the summer months arrive in Tallinn, thousands of people on board cruise ships arrive in the Port of Tallinn to see the sights on offer. Most of them American.
Generally they will stay in Tallinn for only six hours.
Awaiting their arrival in the Port are infinite bus drivers, guides and tour organisers. With cruise passes in hand, major attractions, eating and drinking are to be had, with most leaving with full bellies and pleasant memories. But Tallinn is just another stop on their long journey.
After a long days sight-seeing the tourists are tired and the stress of the day fades away from the local tour operators.
What do the tour guides show?
In fact; what did they talk about?
Who are the people that provide the service for “same-day” tourists?
And who are the tourists???
Director: Rein Kotov
Staring: Tourists

‘karu süda’ (The Heart of the Bear) – [R] 2001
WARNING: SOME FRONTAL NUDITY AND SEX SCENES.
Genre: Drama
Time and a reliable courier will hopefully deliver this special copy direct from the director. As we understand it, this is the first dvd sub-titled copy made especially for KiNO! @ Estonian House Sydney. We pull out all the stops for you people 🙂
This is the story of a young Estonian man who goes to the Siberian Taiga to live as a hunter in a remote forest hut. He hopes to find his true self far from civilisation.
The natives he encounters introduce him to the myths of the north and the ways of the wild.
Along the way he will encounter the most mysterious creature of all – the woman! The first: a young village teacher who wants to be a good wife to him. The second: a wild and untameable native. Others will try and fail along the way.
When an accident occurs one day out in the wilds, he burdens himself with a guilt he feels he can never recover from. However, the natives he befriends are forgiving and he is given a chance of finding his inner balance.
A romantic drama with mythical elements and breathtaking landscapes.
For those of you who caught Lennart Meris film ‘Dances to the Milky Way’ a few KiNO!’s ago, you would have had the chance to see the funeral of the bear, a relevant reference point in this film ‘karu süda’.
Director: Arvo Iho
Stars: Rain Simmul, Dinara Drukarova and Ilyana Pavlova
