The Last Winter
Director of Photography
It is 1941. It is winter. The sky is grey and a mist hangs over a typical small fishing town on the Atlantic coast of France. But things are not what they seem, and when something strange and beautiful washes up on the shore their lives will change forever.
Kosmos 68 - Legends vol 1
Cinematography
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.
Taksirengit
Cinematography
Finnish-Estonian short film.
Not Flammable
Director of Photography
A documentary with a mystical-criminal air about a man who studies the story of a photographer from the Estonian diaspora in Canada who drowned 24 years ago. A branching, strange network of predestination is brutally turning against the researcher. The film is composed of material left behind by him.
Killing Tartu
Director of Photography
Half the film was shot with a video camera taken from a television station without permission, the cast and staff were unpaid, and the script was written as a screenwriting class assignment.
