overview: One of the most extraordinary personas in Estonian cultural history is undoubtedly the writer, director, publicist, lecturer and a public figure Mati Unt.  The Documentary Unt’s Hour takes us back to the bright generation of the ‘60s with their innovative and creative ideas in the literary world and the theatre.

Harassment, mental violence, manipulation, cornering – these topics are current in both politics as well as private sphere.

title: A Bad Scene: Early Spring

overview: "A Bad Scene" is a film compilation, which speaks about the darker currents hiding in human relationships, situations, which are practically inescapable, in five different ways.  The second short film "Early Spring" is not a cool youth movie about frolicking teenagers. It's a sociopsychological challenge to incite a discussion about group dynamics, conformism, and social roles that are largely shaped and confirmed in teenage years. Hopefully there is a moment of self-reflection here for everyone who has witnessed the blind acceptance of the group leader's whims, even when they clash with the observer's principles and conscience. Later it's almost impossible to analyse what happened, and why. Sander is not the only victim here. You could even speak about Alo in those terms, not to mention Laura. In another world, Sander and Laura might have been a young couple in love, but it is impossible in given social structure.

title: Paha lugu: Jõulumüsteerium

overview: 'A Bad Scene' is een film compilatie die op vijf verschillende manieren spreekt over de duistere stromingen die schuilgaan in menselijke relaties, situaties die praktisch onontkoombaar zijn. Intimidatie, geestelijk geweld, manipulatie, bochtenwerk – deze onderwerpen zijn zowel in de politiek als in de privésfeer actueel. In deze nachtmerrieachtige confrontaties zijn zowel dramatiek, mystiek als verwrongen komedie te vinden. De korte film ‘Christmas Mystery’ van Andres Maimik en Katrin Maimik gaat over student Jass, die extra geld verdient door de rol van Kerstman te spelen. Achter één deur wacht hem echter een eenzame vrouw, die hem meetrekt in vreemde rollenspellen waar de beleefde jongere geen ‘nee’ tegen kan zeggen.

title: Tõnu Kõrvits. Moorland Elegies

overview: Tõnu Kõrvits is a composer in his fifth decade who doesn’t open up easily. Though he is one of the most performed Estonian composers, Tõnu prefers to remain in the shadows. His person and music carry a secret that only unravels for those who can see behind the words, who forget themselves in the music and let the sounds Tõnu created take them along on a mystical, poetical journey that changes anyone who arrives at the end. The film “Moorland Elegies” is named after Tõnu’s nine-part choir cycle, based on Emily Brontë’s almost gothic, dark poetry, that invokes spiritual conditions delicately translated into natural imagery. Tõnu’s enchantingly powerful “Moorland Elegies” has been one of the most sold classical records on the Amazon charts and forms the musical and material core of the film. This is a film about a composer, his music and the people who are deeply touched by his music.

title: Kosmos 68 - Legends vol 1

overview: Documentary about Estonian rock music as a birth-story of a fresh thought in the contradictional Soviet cultural space. A world of contrasts – pioneers placing flower chaplets to Lenin’s monument and Scott McKenzie “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your head”. First Estonian beat-bands were born already in the early 60’s. Names like “Juuniorid”, “Rütmikud”, “Optimistid”, “Mikronid”, “Kristallid”, “Virmalised” and a lot of others, not so well known, performed almost every week on youth dance-nights. The repertoire was mainly acquired by listening and recording music from foreign radio stations with the static noise of the radio. Radio Luxemburg and a lot of other radio stations playing new music, like Radio Caroline and Radio Sweden, became windows to the music world. On 28 April, 1968, the Puhkeparkide Direktsioon and Tallinn Beat Club organized the first festival-like youth music event in Estonia and in whole Soviet Union.

title: Жизнь в цитадели

overview: Советская Армия подходит к границам Эстонии, оккупированной немецко-фашистскими захватчиками. Но все эти события проходят мимо известного эстонского ботаника, профессора Мийласа. В своем особняке, как в неприступной «цитадели», старый ученый пытается спрятаться от окружающего мира. Когда-то Мийлас создал проект осушения болот, но правящие круги буржуазной Эстонии отказались осуществить смелый замысел ученого. Разочаровавшись в возможности использовать научную работу на благо людей, профессор решает ограничиться проблемами «чистой науки». Но жизнь властно врывается в его дом. Ученый, поселивший у себя старшего сына Ральфа и племянника Рихарда, с ужасом убеждается, что под своим кровом он приютил нацистских убийц, палачей из гитлеровского лагеря смерти. Это прозрение чуть не стоит профессору жизни...

title: Year of the Dragon

overview: The year of 1988 in Estonia was exceptional - it came as a surprise for everyone that all of a sudden national symbols were allowed; expressions of no confidence were addressed towards the leaders of Communist Party and Estonian government; the Popular Front of Estonia and Estonian Green Movement but also the Intermovement (the Workers International Movement of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic) were founded. Estonian Heritage Society restored the monuments of the War of independence; the facts about war crimes during the Stalinist regime were disclosed and - imagine that! - the representatives of Estonian Republic went against the central authorities in Moscow. Events in Estonia draw international attention. Is all this possible in a totalitarian state? This documentary chronicle gives a plausibe interpretation of the events that took place in Estonia in 1988, of the changes in people's lives and the awakening after a 48-year-long period of darkness.

Эстонское общество охраны памятников отреставрировало памятники Освободительной войны; были раскрыты факты военных преступлений во время сталинского режима и - представьте себе! - представители Эстонской Республики выступили против центральной власти в Москве. События в Эстонии привлекают международное внимание. Возможно ли всё это в тоталитарном государстве? Эта документальная хроника даёт правдоподобную интерпретацию событий, произошедших в Эстонии в 1988 году, изменений в жизни людей и пробуждения после 48-летнего периода тьмы.

title: In Paradisum

overview: In Paradisum relates two disturbing stories simultaneously. The female narrator tells her personal tale of imprisonment as the wife of the notorious Estonian serial killer, Andreas Hanni. Although her story is bizarre, it touches familiar themes that run throughout modern life: the desire to be loved and the fear of being alone. Pille Hanni's tale unfolds over cinema vérité images of life in several Estonian prisons. At times the images reflect in a literary way the events of the narration, yet they are representations and impressions, rather than traditional documentary style footage of the people involved. This opens the story to a more general interpretation, often with unsettling results. The parallel contents reveal, at two levels of story and social organisation, how the bizarre and inhuman can be tolerable and even addictive in the face of our fears.
