title: Neeme Järvi - en sann kapellmästare

overview: För vår svenska publik är den estniske dirigenten Neeme Järvi förmodligen mest känd som Göteborgssymfonikernas legendariske chefdirigent. Det är en position som han innehade under mer än två decennier, från 1982-2004. Hans musikaliska arv bärs vidare i den egna familjen, där sönerna Kristjan och Paavo båda har framgångsrika dirigentkarriärer och dottern Maarika är framgångsrik flöjtist. Med tillgång till Järvi, hans allra närmaste och musikaliska samarbetspartners runt hela världen tecknas ett porträtt av en sann kapellmästare. Det är en karriär där solid dirigeringsteknik kombineras med ett impulsivt musikskapande, drivet av fantasi, entusiasm och ärlighet. Född den 7 juni 1937 firar Neeme Järvi 2025 sin 88:e födelsedag!

overview: Juhan Liiv, a struggling poet and an unlikely detective, solves gruesome murder cases in Estonia, the Wild West of the crumbling Russian Empire in the 1890s. Investigations take him to miserable dwellings of the local Estonian peasants, luxurious castles of German nobility that have sworn allegiance to the Czar, and to the depths of ancient forests where witchcraft is still practiced. Juhan is fighting crime and his own inner demons. He is considered mad and pronounced crazy. But by standing for justice and truth, at the end of the day, he is the sanest of them all.

title: The Shadow

Страдая от начинающейся шизофрении, он везде видит преследующие его тёмные фигуры и слышит странные голоса.

title: Vari

overview: Haarav põnevik vaigistatud luuletajast, kes julgeb unistada kodumaa vabadusest.  On 1894. aasta. Sel süngel ja hirmuärataval ajal hakkab eestlaste südames kasvama salajane lootus – lootus vabaneda Vene võimu ahelatest. Julge Juhan Liiv väljendab isamaalisi unistusi ka luules, mis päädib paraku ainult Tartu psühhiaatriakliinikusse luku taha sattumisega.  Geniaalne näitleja Pääru Oja kehastab Juhan Liivi persona non grata’t, kes lahendab sünges kodukandis müsteeriume, juhindudes oma sisemistest sosinatest ja soovist aidata noort sugulast. Film jälgib Juhani raskusi seistes silmitsi valesüüdistuste, petlike sõprade ja süveneva vaimuhaigusega. Kogu selle kaose keskel õnnestub tal siiski unistada ja kirjutada vabadusest – millestki, mis oli tol ajal isegi luules tundmatu.

Śledztwo prowadzi go do nędznych siedzib estońskich chłopów, luksusowych zamków niemieckiej szlachty, która przysięgła wierność carowi, oraz w głąb prastarych lasów, gdzie wciąż praktykowane są czary. Juhan walczy z przestępczością i własnymi wewnętrznymi demonami. Jest uważany za szaleńca i oskarżany o szaleństwo. Ale walcząc o sprawiedliwość i prawdę, ostatecznie okazuje się najzdrowszy ze wszystkich.

He follows Kristjan’s encounters and drunken conversations with the self-proclaimed cinema pioneer Eedi. Chess master Eedi can barely walk and can’t hear, but bitterly scorns Kristjan for filmmaking. Unstoppable dreamer, Kristjan continues to imagine a long-postponed film about the painter Jüri Arrak with never-ending hope to leave a mark in Estonian culture.

title: Paul Keres: The King

overview: When this film reached the editing table, the British newspaper The Guardian, which reaches thirty million readers, featured an article by renowned chess writer Leonard Barden, “Pride of Estonia: Paul Keres, one of the best to never hold chess world crown”. “Keres became a national hero for Estonians,” writes Leonard Barden, who believed that the Soviet authorities forced him to play badly at the 1948 World Championship tournament. Most of the professionals who appear in the film also agree with the theory that Paul Keres was influenced by the Soviet authorities. But some disagree.

title: Paul Keres. Kuningas

overview: Toen deze film op de redactietafel kwam, verscheen in de Britse krant The Guardian, die dertig miljoen lezers bereikt, een artikel van de beroemde schaakschrijver Leonard Barden: “Trots van Estland: Paul Keres, een van de beste die nooit de schaakwereldkroon heeft behaald”. “Keres werd een nationale held voor de Esten”, schrijft Leonard Barden, die geloofde dat de Sovjet-autoriteiten hem dwongen slecht te spelen op het Wereldkampioenschap van 1948. De meeste professionals die in de film voorkomen zijn het ook eens met de theorie dat Paul Keres werd beïnvloed door de Sovjetautoriteiten. Maar sommigen zijn het daar niet mee eens.

title: Valli baar

overview: All towns in the world have legendary bars and drinking places. Tiny Valli Bar in Tallinn links different times and people and the film is a portrait of Estonian drinking scene. Shooting months turned out jolly, but also dramatic. One of the participants was kicked out of home, two died soon after the filming. Drinking was definitely part in all that.

title: Long Live the Scandals!

overview: Leonhard Lapin is the classic and the enfant terrible of Estonian contemporary art, constantly followed by scandals, lewd legends and envious grumbling. Lapin confidently steps on the cornea of mediocrity, enjoying the situation to the fullest. Loved by his muses, the artist is not ashamed of his dalliances. He still has plenty at the grand old age of 70. The new Estonian film opens the doors to a disappearing Bohemianism, in which racy vocabulary reigns instead of political correctness.

title: Standing by the Forest

overview: We don't have high mountains or dark valleys, so the forest has become a safe haven from invaders, diseases or other people. For many, the forest is a source of income, for others something like a sanctuary or rather a clinic. Twice in history it has supported the national currency.

Enam kui 60 Eesti eri paigas üles võetud loodusfilm avab vaatajale Eesti metsade hetkeseisu ja näitab kuidas poliitilised otsused on meie ühise vara kasutamist mõjutanud. Film pakub lahendusi, et debati ummikseisust välja liikuda ja suunab tähelepanu teravikele, mis metsasõja infomüras on mattunud juhitud kommunikatsioonisõnumite alla. Aga tõstatab ka küsimuse, kuidas metsasõja algusajast vahetunud üheksa valitsust on jätkuva passiivsusega riigi vara, metsaga, hoolimatult ringi käinud. "Vara küps" loodusfilmina on meie aja peegeldus, mis eestlasi kui metsarahvast halastamatult portreteerib.

overview: Фильм о трудной жизни эстонских крестьян в Российской империи в конце XIX века.

Üleöö saab Kellyst, keda juhendas isa Tõnis Sildaru, taliolümpiamängude medalitele lootva väikerahva lemmik. Neist kahest saavad meediakangelased – imelaps ja isehakanud treener.

title: Kelly: kellegi teise unistus

overview: De documentaire vertelt het oprechte verhaal van Kelly Sildaru, het wonderkind van de Estse extreme sporten, die als uit het niets op het wereldtoneel van het kunstskiën verschijnt. Op 13-jarige leeftijd wint Kelly haar eerste gouden X-Games-medaille in parkracen, de gevaarlijkste discipline in kunstskiën. Van de ene op de andere dag wordt Kelly, die werd gecoacht door haar vader Tõnis Sildaru, de favoriet van een klein land dat hoopt op medailles op de Olympische Winterspelen. De twee worden mediahelden – een wonderkind en een zelfbenoemde coach.

title: Kellija Sildaru. Čempiones dienasgrāmata

overview: Kellija Sildaru ir izcila frīstaila slēpotāja no valsts, kurā nav kalnu. Trauma attālina sapni par olimpiādi, bet tēvs, kurš ir arī Kellijas treneris, piespiež meitu atveseļoties un atgriezties uz kalna. Pusaudze piedzīvo savu veiksmīgāko sezonu sportā, vienlaikus cenšoties tikt galā ar mentālu vardarbību un manipulēšanu. Izrauties no tēva kontroles, atgūt teikšanu pār savu dzīvi un no jauna atklāt sportošanas prieku – tie kļūst par Kellijas smagākajiem pārbaudījumiem.

Alors que tout espoir de bonheur semble hors de portée, leurs regards se croisent et le miracle opère : ils tombent amoureux. Alors qu’ils batifolent dans les champs de fleurs, rien ne semble pouvoir perturber leur idylle. Rien, si ce n’est un maniaque armé d’une tronçonneuse qui kidnappe Maria. N’écoutant que son courage, Tom se lance à la rescousse de sa bien-aimée sans se douter des obstacles qui l’attendent. À commencer par son incompétence totale en matière d’héroïsme.

title: Chainsaws Were Singing

Tom muss den Killer jagen, um seine geliebte Maria zu befreien. Und so beginnt ein absolut verrücktes Action-Horror-Musical-ComedyEpos aus Estland. (Quelle: Internationales Filmwochenende Würzburg)
