‘Seenelkäik’ (Mushrooming), Friday the 31st of May, 7pm [R]

A film by Toomas Hussari

When a nervous and smarmy politician, Aadu Kägu and his wife Viivi, take a trip to the forest to collect mushrooms and take a break from a nerve-wracking image campaign, they are joined by a random, penniless hitch-hiker – the rock star Zäk – who has been left behind after a summer tour through Estonias small towns.
Trying to avoid forests overpopulated with mushroomers, the group ends up in the middle of nowhere in a wild and deserted forest. At the same time as the threesome discover they are lost, a media scandal erupts. Journalists investigate whether politician Aadu Kägu has been misusing public funds for his own, private good.
Mysterious characters in the forrest (and in the city) lead to a fight for honour, life and death.

Layered in metaphor to emphasis the current state of the nation not only in Estonia, but really, the rest of the western world, ‘Seenelkäik’ truly lives up to the credits that have proceeded it throughout the world, and deservedly made it Estonias choice of entry into the 2012 Academy Awards for best foreign film (even if it didn’t make it to the final cut).

Staring: Raivo E. Tamm, Elina Reinold, Juhan Ulfsak and Ott Sepp

Food and drinks are served at Estonian House on the night.

Doors open at 6pm and the main film rolls at 7pm.

Thursday 18th April

6pm to 10pm

I wanted to say:
This time we get together and will do an old style Estonian Club night.
For dinner we are cooking bangers and mash in our own way. We drink
Estonian beer and catch up with old Estonian mates. There are rumours
that this time some Finnish mates are joining us too..

Google translator think I said:
This time we get together and do yhe old and conventional E-Club
of danger. At dinner, we make a simple but pleasant food – lightly
smoked cheese sausages with potato porridge, or in the middle of
koikenagev eye. Local names for dishes like Bangers and Mash – our
doing this sort.

Coming soon:
25/04 Anzac Day – Estonian club doors are open from 3pm-10pm
28/04 Estonian General Market at 11am-3pm.

****

Seekord saame kokku ja teeme yhe vana ja tavaparase E-Klubi ohtu. Ohtusoogiks teeme lihtsa, kuid meeldiva toidu – kergelt suitsetatud juustu viinerid kartulipudruga, mille keskel on koikenagev voisilm. Kohalikud nimetavad sarnast rooga Bangers and Mash – meie teeme seda omamoodi.

Lisaks sellele joome Saku olut, saame osta Eesti Shokolaade ja koikvoimalikku muud ninni-nanni ning lisaks vanade soprade jorinale mangib taustaks Eesti muusika!

Kylapeal liiguvad jutud et seekord tulevad ka soomlased meile kylla..

Tulevased yritused:

25 aprill Anzac Day – E-Klubi on avatud kella 3-st kuni kella 22-ni
28 aprill suurejooneline turupaev!!! Uksed avatud 11-15.00

Early in April in a tiny city in the south of one of the biggest continents in the Southern Hemisphere a small group of Estonians held an evening known as ‘Sala Kõrst’ it is otherwise known as Esto Pub Night.

Although this was the EPN 26, the 6th year of the tradition and also the first for 2013, the intent was to keep it vey quiet! Well what another dynamic success for Thomas Sarapuu and his fabulous team, the club rooms were heaving. This certainly was a first for ‘Kalev on Jeffcott’ and we are suspecting it was another first for the Southern Hemisphere Estonian Community, we had a great evening with over 80% of attendees of the ‘Y Generation’ with a possibility of one or two very close… The real back packers from Estonia have finally found South Australia and the ‘Green Room’ team were absolutely superb in assisting the head Chef. Well the ‘Saku Kana’ and the ‘Hiuumaa Salatid’ were a masterstroke.

Late in the evening another tradition evolved. Thank you Amy we have not seen the traditional spontaneous ‘Tuljak’ and other folk-dancing classics for over 6-7 EPN’s. Well this was the highlight but the team behind the bar and their antics were certainly a feature, but this really is what the crowd is there to expect. Hard to admit but we did have some help from down in NSW with young Peter Maasepp helping our folk-dancing performance, well done Peter! Looking forward to seeing you and others at Estovision!

Well here in Adelaide at ‘Kalev on Jeffcott’ Estovision continues as an institution. The tradition continues… We have the opportunity to see the Estonian contestant, who is performing in the first semifinal and we will see this in Friday May 17th. Yes this is the date of the next Esto Pub Night here at ‘Kalev on Jeffcott’ but we do like to keep it quiet! Just remember the food will be of an amazing Estonian standard and the crowd will be ‘small’. The atmosphere well it will also be conservative, it is a great chance to mingle with your Estonian friends.

Birgit Õigemeel was born in 1988 in Kohila, Estonia she is an Estonian singer and has the advanced history of being the first winner of ‘Estonian Idol’ or Eesti otsib superstaari. Well what else there to say, we here at ‘Kalev on Jeffcott’ are ready to give our full support.

Remember, we have the cheapest ‘Viru Valge’ and ‘Saku Kuld’ in the Southern Hemisphere! Esto Pub Night or Estovision is on Friday the 17th of May. You do not have to book tickets! Just chat to your friends and arrive early to secure a seat near one of our multiple screens…. If not drop in, stay for a drink at the bar, or pass though after being out elsewhere. Kalev on Jeffcott is centrally located in Adelaide most people stay for the evening…
