The Estonian Film Festival Australia (EFFA) and Sydney Eesti Selts (SES) are proud to present….

KiNO! #14 @ Estonian House Sydney on Friday, the 1st of March, 2013!

kino! is changing!!

As part of our new format, we will be showing either a single feature or documentary film, or a series of shorts during our film nights.

Instead of starting at 6:30pm like we used to, we will now be starting at 7pm – to take the pressure off getting there early. We want you to be relaxed when you arrive 🙂

Doors will still open at 6pm so you have time to grab a bite and a drink before taking in our film/s for the night.

Because we wont be showing a short film before, we will also be finishing a little earlier as well. But that’s ok, because you can stick around for a social drink afterwards as the bar will stay open!

—————————————————————————–

Although not advertised, we will be showing a third film due to the run time of each of the three films being no longer than 30 minutes.

19:00 – 19:30

‘1895’ (1995) [R]
The animated cartoon “1895” is dedicated to the centennial of cinema. “1895” is a picture about the life of brothers Auguste and Louis Lumiere.
The cartoon acquaints the public with so far unknown biographical facts and events from the life of the two celebrated brothers who have immortalized their names as inventors of cinematography. The picture is an illusion.
Is illusion truth?
This assertion and the subsequent question gave the authors of this cartoon the rights to declare that namely their version of the life of brothers Lumiere and the birth of cinema was the most original and unique of all. (imdb.com)

20:00 – 20:24
‘Karl ja Marilyn’ (2003) [R]
Karl is tired of the heavy burden of fame that oppresses him and he decides to liberate himself from it.
He returns to life among so called ordinary people, after which he crosses paths with fame-seeking Marilyn.
Ordinary Karl is the force that turns Marilyn into an idol of the masses. But not for long… (imdb.com)

21:00 – 21:29
‘Night of the Carrots’ (1998) [R]
Diego the bicyclist waits to check into the PGI hotel, where each room’s inhabitant seems more bizarre than the last, and the rabbits on the top floor have discovered the secret of voodoo, using electronics and carrots.
Can the rare and unpredictable night of the carrots save everyone, or will their connections to the room’s electrical sockets restrain them too much?
Will Diego find love with an egg that speaks incessantly in German? Will the cellist, who is actually a room full of a gelatinous substance, affected in some way by buttons labeled K, G, and B, have dreams that explain everything?
Or will the audience just leave scratching their heads? Not all questions get answered. (imdb.com)

—————————————————————————–

And remember:
bring a friend, bring a relative even if they are non-Estonian speaking because ALL FILMS HAVE ENGLISH SUB-TITLES!!! EVERYBODY is invited!

Doors open from 6pm.

**NEW TICKETING PRICES**

SES members – $5
Non members – $7

Remember to keep your door ticket as one lucky viewer will win free entry for next months KINO night!!!

HANS TAMMEMAGI 23. nov. 2012

We left Tallinn in our rental car and headed southwest toward Pärnu, the start of our counter-clockwise trip around Estonia.

With little idea of what to see en route we decided to wander from one historic spot to another using the guidebook, Estonian Museums, and following the ubiquitous brown signs pointing to historic/cultural sites. Occupying a strategic location, Eesti has long been coveted and fought over and, thus, has an enormous number of castles, fortifications and other ruins. As we soon discovered, history abounds.

Our first stop was Padise Monastary, whose construction began in the 13th century. It had a vaulted church and was fortified, but fell into ruins after a fire in 1776. The monastery was not fenced, there was no entrance fee, we wandered freely and, best of all, there was a large sign that provided a detailed history. And we had the place to ourselves.

We meandered along back roads, passing small villages and enjoying the countryside. There was little traffic, the signage was good and there were virtually no billboards nor litter. It was peaceful and restful.

Near Taebla we stopped at the Ants Laikma Museum, the house of the deceased famous painter. It was closed, but we explored the extensive grounds and admired the thatch-covered house. I chatted with the only other visitor in my broken Estonian.

The steepled church at a small village beckoned. The cemetery was beautiful, in a natural setting and we read the dates and names on the tombstones with fascination. A monument to more than 100 people massacred by the Russians gave an insight into the sad decades of oppression that Estonia suffered.

With “Agnes” (our Estonian-speaking GPS) giving directions and rain starting to spatter, we drove through a flat landscape with birch forests, wetlands and occasional farms and villages to Pärnu, and our hotel, Villa Wesset.

Pärnu (populaton 45,000) is a popular sea-side resort with a long sandy beach, many parks and a rich cultural life including the excellent New Art Gallery. However, it was the end of September and a cool wind blew along empty streets. The town centre featured a walking promenade and, delightfully, no big American chain stores. At a small, back-alley restaurant, the Veerev Ōlu (Rolling Beer), we enjoyed a (very) cheap, tasty meal while other customers contested a chess game.

Next morning the breakfast table was elegantly adorned with cloth napkins, a fresh rose and two candles in pewter holders. Omelettes were followed by Eesti pannkoogid (one of my childhood favourites!), crepes with icing sugar and lingonberry sauce.

We drove leisurely toward Saaremaa, Estonia’s largest island. Along the coast, the blades of 19 towering wind turbines slowly turned. The ferry was cheaper and more efficient and comfortable than the ones plying Canada’s west coast.

On Muhumaa we wandered around Koguva village, a national heritage fishing village with moss-covered stone fences, log buildings and thatched roofs. My camera clicked constantly.

The highlight of Kuresaare, Saaremaa’s capital, was the castle, the best-preserved medieval (14th century) stronghold in the Baltics. A small exhibit dedicated to the Estonians murdered by the Soviets in 1941, brought tears to our eyes. It differed dramatically from other memorials by naming those responsible and showing their photos.

We returned to Pärnu through birch forests with yellow leaves and past prosperous farms. At Liiva village, we visited the church and cemetery where a massive oak loomed over ancient stone crosses.

Next morning, we headed toward Võru, passing wooden houses and remnants of the Soviet-occupation days: deteriorating apartment blocks, and large collective-farm buildings, now abandoned. A small detour led us to Karski Fortress (1248) along with its pretty Baroque church. Wildflowers bloomed alongside the ruins.

Motoring eastward, the countryside became rolling and more forested. At Valga we popped into Valka, Latvia. There was no border stop, just a sign. What a contrast to the long line-ups and formal process at the Canada-US border! Latvia looked the same as Estonia except the signs and names were in an incomprehensible Slavic language.

Nearing Võru, “Agnes” led us along a dirt road to the farm of my cousin, Matti, whom I had never met. His family greeted us with open arms and sat us down to a hearty farm meal. They spoke no English but we managed to bumble along quite nicely, aided by a few glasses of Vana Tallinn, a liquor they explained was more valuable than money during the occupation. Then we visited the neighbouring farm, now abandoned, where my father grew up. It was very emotional to make these connections with my roots.

Finally we arrived at the Kubija Hotel-Naturespa, south of Võru where roller-bladers and runners raced along forest trails preparing for the cross-county ski season. Erki Nool, the legendary gold-medallist in the decathlon at the 2000 Olympics, trained here and the lobby boasts a statue of him pole-vaulting.

I am currently the Vice Chairman of the Seltside Liit, that is the Council of Estonian Societies in Australia and Coordinator of the Annual Relief Appeal i.e. Rahvuskapital. Every 3 years the AESL changes hands and is managed between Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. Currently Adelaide is in its second year.

These funds raised from our Annual Appeal provide financial support to organisations that are concerned with promoting Estonian culture and language in Australia. For example the following sums are received;

• Archives ($3000),
• Meie Kodu ($8000),
• Virgats ($1300) and
• Sõrve ($3000).

Without the donations the work of organizations would be reduced or simply not be able to exist.

Recently I came across some correspondence that prompted me to write this article. The timing could not have been more perfect with the launch of our Appeal. A comment was made that the focus of any fundraising should be aimed at the “older generation”, meaning the over 65’s. Other comments reflected no knowledge of what it was about at all.

It is somewhat disconcerting that amongst the first and second generation Australian Estonians, there appears to be either no understanding of what Rahvuskapital and the Seltside Liit are about or there is the perception that it is responsibility of the older Estonian born generation to continue to provide the basis of funding for our organisations.

Yet it is their children and their grandchildren who benefit most from this!

Sydney ran a very successful Eesti Päevad recently but not many people are aware they received $10,000 loan in funding from the Liit to do so as did Adelaide and Melbourne prior to this. As part of the Adelaide organising committee we simply would not have been able to run the festival at all without this financial assistance. This loan is usually then repaid at the conclusion of the Festival.

Many of our community who enjoy what the Estonian organisations provide are under 65, working and often better off financially than their parents. Yet they generally do not donate. Two years ago I am ashamed to say that I knew very little about Rahvuskapital and I could also be seen as ill informed as anybody else and any donations I did make were pitiful.

Last year’s appeal was a bit less successful than previous years, but still brought in $6895, leaving a very large deficit. While the gap was covered by interest and capital withdrawals from A. Kaljo Fund, this is being reduced each year, highlighting the need to raise substantially more funds.

We are asking you to be generous and not rely on your parents and grandparents to donate so you can enjoy Eesti päevad or have a break when your kids go Sõrve.

Please donate wither by cheque/money order or direct debit.

Article from

Leen Rampe (née Võrno) and Siimon Rampe are a wife-husband team passionate about Estonian film. They have run monthly film sessions called KiNO! nights at the Sydney Estonian Cultural House for over a year now and finished 2012 off with an Estonian Film Festival in Australia.

Leen has a Master’s degree in Scenography from the Estonian Academy of Arts. She has worked for several years as a set and costume designer as well as Art Director for Estonian movies and TV ads. Leen moved to Sydney in 2008 and now works at the Museum of Contemporary Art as well as for the annual Sculpture by the Sea festival.

Siimon is from Wollongong, an hour south of Sydney but has lived in Sydney most of his adult life. Having started an internet communications degree, he has never studied art in any medium, but naturally gravitates towards it. He has been a keen surfer for most of his life and is currently working as a stevedore. Siimon is a dedicated family man who would love to move to Estonia with his family one day (despite no surfing there).

I talked to them both about their love for film and tried to find out their motivation behind doing such an admirable job in promoting Estonian cinematography.

This year, the Alliance French Film Festival features “a Lady in Paris” the story of an Estonian woman who moves to Paris. The film is showing around Australia and you can see the schedule and buy tickets on the Alliance French Film Festival site.

From the Alliance French Film Festival site:

Jeanne Moreau, a living legend of French Cinema, is as charismatic as ever in this beautiful and moving film about age, loss and love.

The film begins with Anne (Laine Mägi), all alone in Estonia. Her husband has divorced her, her children have left home and her mother has died. She decides to move to Paris to look after an elderly Estonian woman, Frida (Moreau), who emigrated to France many years before. However Frida doesn’t want any help – and the sparks soon fly.

Jeanne Moreau steals every scene of this elegant film, relishing her prickly, iron willed character. Estonian actress Laine Mägi is just as excellent as the mousy caretaker in need of a new life in a new city.

The acclaimed Estonian director Ilmar Raag based his second feature on his own mother who came to Paris to look after an elderly woman. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival last year.

Watch the trailer below:

March, 4 to December, 20, 2013 University of Tartu offers a web-based Estonian language course for beginners.

The course is aimed at adult learners. This course is suitable for people, who want to improve their skills in learning Estonian. Students will gain an introductory knowledge of Estonian vocabulary and will be able to use the vocabulary covered during the course in everyday situations. Other aspects of the Estonian language (grammatical structure, etc.) will also be introduced.

The course is 95 % web-based. There are 5 classroom meetings (or Skype-meetings) per course. The course will end with an exam. At the meetings the teachers will provide the learners with feed-back on their home assignments, and refine their talking-skills.

On completion of the course the learners will be able to

1. use the vocabulary and grammar covered during the course in everyday situations;
2. read and create simple texts (both oral and written).

On the web-page of the course there will be links to the learning materials divided into 10 lessons. Vocabulary related to the following topics is introduced: family and home, food and drink, leisure time activities, climate and nature, etc.

Completed exercises and creative writing assignments on each topic are to be sent to the teachers. The time schedule for presenting home work and taking the on-line tests will be sent to all the participants. The tests will appear on the web-page after each class-room (Skype) meeting. The students will get individual feed-back on the results of the tests. The course ends with an exam (final test).

Participation fee: 110 euros
