title: Jan Uuspõld Goes Home

name: Mängufilm "Jan Uuspõld läheb koju" ehk JULK treiler - kinodes üle-Eesti Veebruar 2025

overview: When actor Jan Uuspõld has to film a promotional video for his summer fling Brita’s beauty salon, his wife calls him and lays down the law: he must come home and earn back all the money he has squandered. Since Jan always does what women want, he begins searching for a way out of the tricky situation. The solution seems to be participating in a remake of a film about his life. Unfortunately, the director decides to sideline Jan due to his poor public reputation. Left with no other choice, Jan embarks on a summer tour starring himself. But, as always, life happens when you have the best intentions. On his long journey home, Jan encounters a sex guru, men’s rights activists, manic fans, and even the Creator himself. He is both humbled and exalted, leading him to discover something within himself that he never knew was there.

title: Jan Uuspõld läheb koju

overview: Kui näitleja Jan Uuspõld peab filmima oma suvearmukese Britta ilusalongile promovideot, helistab talle ametlik abikaasa ja paneb ta fakti ette: mees peab koju tulema ja kõik mahalaristatud rahad tagasi teenima. Kuna Jan teeb alati nii nagu naised tahavad, hakkab ta kimbatavast olukorrast väljapääsu otsima. Lahenduseks näib olevat osaleda oma elust rääkiva filmi uusversioonis. Paraku otsustab lavastaja kehva avaliku mainega Jani kõrvale lükata. Nii ei jää mehel muud üle kui käima tõmmata suvetuur iseendaga peaosas. Aga sellega läheb nagu ikka - elu on see, mis juhtub siis kui sul on parimad kavatsused. Oma pika kodutee käigus kohtub Jan muuhulgas seksguru, meesõiguslaste, maaniliste fännide ja Looja endaga. Ta saab alandatud ja ülendatud, et leida endas üles midagi, millest ta pole seni teadlik.

Tolleaegsetest Eesti Humanitaarinstituudi filosoofiaüliõpilastest on suutnud tänapäeva desinifitseeritud ja klooritatud haridusbasseinis pinnale jääda vaid Jani sõber Margus Ott. Film osutabki kõrghariduse kommertsialiseerumisele ja vaba mõtte lämmatamisele. Tegelaste teekond annab aimu sellest, kuidas haridussüsteem üritab valada loovad mõtlejad ühetaolistesse vormidesse.

title: Art and the Cold War. Esthetic Resistance

overview: A story about the relationship between independent Soviet art and the West. It recalls a time when art was larger and more important than life itself. On one side, there are independent Soviet artists who lack not only the output but also the finances to complete their works. On the other side, there is the tempting West whose ambassadors (in the literal sense) take active interest in the Soviet underground art market. Selling one’s works to the West is a tricky business since the almighty KGB stands between the two mutually interested parties. Nevertheless, an incredible quantity of mainly Estonian and Moscovian visual art is sold and taken across the border. This is facilitated mainly by Western diplomats, behind whose coordinated actions stands none other than the CIA.

title: Amateurs

overview: A black and gloomy comedically stylized film about a young ice cream seller, Roob, who, almost by chance and thanks to his 'multibusinessman' boss, happens to land the leading role in an underground porno film. Though the youngsters in the lead roles of the porno film realize that they have crossed the line that most of their fellow citizens might denounce as indecent, their helpless actions are somewhat pardoned by their curiosity and inexperience. The same cannot be said for the film crew, who are pragmatic and down-trodden and for whom there is no difference whether they are selling potatoes at the market or making a porno - as long as the money keeps rolling in.

title: Amatöörid

overview: Must ja sünge komöödiliselt stiliseeritud film noorest jäätisemüüjast Roobist, kes peaaegu juhuslikult ja tänu oma "multiärimehest" bossile satub peaosale põrandaaluses pornofilmis. Kuigi pornofilmi peaosades olevad noored mõistavad, et on ületanud piiri, mida enamik kaaskodanikke võib sündsusetuks tunnistada, annab nende abitu tegu mõnevõrra armu nende uudishimu ja kogenematuse tõttu. Sama ei saa öelda võttegrupi kohta, kes on pragmaatilised ja allakäinud ning kelle jaoks pole vahet, kas nad müüvad turul kartuleid või teevad pornot – seni, kuni raha aina sisse veereb.

Äratundmisrõõmu leiavad kindlasti nii paadunud teatraalid kui ka need, kes haruharva publiku hulka satuvad. Laval on ju ikkagi Eesti seksikaimaks valitud ja mitmetest seriaalidest tuntud Merle Palmiste. Pettuda igatahes ei tule, vaimustuda võib aga küll – niivõrd elulised ja mõistetavad on näited meie igapäevaelust, mis ette kantakse. Palmiste mängib siin üksinda nii naisi kui mehi, aga ikka koomilises võtmes, nii et naerulihastele on korralik koormus garanteeritud.

A sensitive and an intelligent place with its stories and facts. Sometimes familiar, sometimes strange. Not gone yet. It is a country designed by the joint forces of the icecap and singing.

title: Eesti rula lugu

overview: Rulatamine on elustiil, isiklik väljendumisviis, loovus ja mässumeelsus, millest on Eestis saanud palju enamat kui lihtsalt trikkide tegemine. Rulatajad kordavad üheskoos: „Rulatamine on andnud mulle kõik.“ Rulatamine on elu. Rulatamine on vabadus. See on viis aastakümmet kestnud skeene lugu Eestis, alates 1980ndatel Võrus saviratastega tehtud ruladest kuni tänaste noorteni, kelle jaoks on kogu maailm valla.

title: Lõppmäng

overview: Tippsportlaste ainuke eesmärk on pürgida tippu ning püsida seal võimalikult kaua – võitja ja võitmatuna, kuulsa ja armastatuna. Pealtnäha lihtne otsus nõuab meeletult higi, valu ja loobumisi. Aga ka sellest jääb tihti väheks. Saatuslik otsus, kukkumine, vale liigutus või midagi muud traagilist võib purustada kõik eelneva elu pingutused. Nii on juhtunud paljude sportlastega, kelle unistused mõranevad lihtsates olukordades, mis avavad tumeda ukse… teadmatusse. Teadmatusse, mis saab edasi ning kas keegi neid üldse enam kuhugi ootab.

title: Leonhard Lapin. Process

overview: This film portraits Leonhard Lapin, who becomes one of the most outstanding avant-garde artists on the Soviet Estonian art and architecture scene. Lapin is especially inspired by pre-war Estonian funk architecture and Russian constructivists. In contrast, the bleak mass production on the actual building arena provokes protest and anger. He finds many like-minded people, and his artistic circle of friends is diverse and active. Several groups grow out of Lapin’s inner circle, among them the legendary group of architects that the Finnish architect Komonen started calling ‘the Tallinn school’. The rebel Lapin becomes the leading avant-garde artist of Soviet Estonia, whose diverse portfolio includes paintings, graphics and architectural drawings, architectonic works and architectural projects, performances and happenings, writings and poetry, and his own theory of architecture and colour. His fiery temper gets him into conflicts with the authorities as well as passionate human relations.
