————————————————————————

18:30 – 19:00
‘aeg ei peatu’ (As Time Goes On) – [M] 2012

Genre: Comedy / Romance

The only thing Malle hates more than following her daughters ridiculous health rules is having to get out of bed at all.
Today when her daughter leaves her alone, someone knocks on the door and forces the old woman to choose: stay in bed and hopefully die soon or get up. Malle has to make an important decision.
This is a film that answers critics of Estonian film being only about miserable Estonians. It isn’t – even if it’s shot in typical Estonian weather.
This little film is like a shot of schnapps that will leave you feeling very warm on the inside.

Director: Moonika Siimets

Staring: Ene Järvis, Feliks Kark, Carita Vaikjärv

—————————————————————————–

19:00 – 19:30
A short intermission where you can grab some finger food and a drink from the bar.

‘Pärnography – mees animatsoonist’ (Pärnography – A Man From Animation) – [M] 2005

Genre: Documentary

What more can be said about Priit Pärn, one of the most recognised, copied, influential, individual and living animators of our time? Nothing really, but this is a great documentary that tells you why he is these things to a great many people.
Shot in 2004/5, it follows Pärn around and gives us a glimpse in to what it’s like to be him and how he builds his ideas into so capturing and multiple-layered artwork.

Director: Hardi Volmer

Stars: Priit Pärn

‘külm on’ (Burnt Mistakes) – [M] 2010

Genre: Drama

Aggivald, 23, is living in a suburban boiler-house that is fuelled by books – books without endings. The biggest passion for the young man is to write a new ending for each book. Aggivald doesn’t know that his family has a story of its own, a story that reaches back to the Soviet time and has no ending either – (imdb.com)

Director: Martti Helde
Staring: Gert Raudsep

19:00 – 19:30
A short intermission where you can grab some finger food and a drink from the bar.

‘tantsud linnuteele’ (Dances Under the Milky Way) – [R] 2010

Genre: Documentary

This documentary is a retrospective homage to one of the greatest Estonians of all time who spent his adult life in a constant search for the roots of his kin.
Writer and filmmaker Lennart Meri (1929–2006) was the President of the Republic of Estonia in 1992 – 2001.
This film deals only with Lennart Meri’s cinematic oeuvre. It looks at the cultural and social background of his anthropological films: The Waterfowl People (1970)
The Winds of the Milky Way (1977)
The Sounds of Kaleva (1985)
The Sons of Torum (1989) and
The Shaman (1997).
With the help of unique archive materials, a brief overview of the difficulties that the Estonian film industry faced during the Soviet era is given – (docpoint.org)

**Kino! considers this part 1 of a 2 part series. Though not directly related, the importance of the subject material in this documentary will hopefully hold the viewer with a clearer picture of another film we hope to show in time – ‘karu süda’ (The Heart of the Bear)**

Director: Jaak Lõhmus
Features: Lennart Meri
