Dear friends and guests of Pärnu Film Festival,
Dear guests and hosts of the festival,
I wish you wonderful and thrilling impressions of the films!
We all have the right to live in the warmth of the common
source, the Sun.
Let’s try to remember it, for the warmth of the Sun is more
than enough for all of us.
Your’s,
Ene Ergma,
President of Riigikogu
(Estonian Parliament)
The film festival, of the longest tradition in Estonia, is on
its way again. Films in which authors make the audience talk
to the world, appear on the XXI Pärnu Documentary and
Anthropology Film Festival screen. Houses, stones, animals,
architecture and of course, the people are talking. And the
audience follows, with its eyes and ears.
Hear and listen, look and see – and the happenings in the world
will find explanations.
I wish you fine impressions of the festival!
Your’s
Laine Jänes
Minister of Culture
Armsad Pärnu filmifestivali sõbrad ja külalised!
Head festivali külalised ja korraldajad!
Soovin teile suurepäraseid filmielamusi!
Meil kõigil on õigus elada meie eluallika, Päikese, soojas säras.
Pidagem seda alati meeles, sest Päikese soojust jätkub meile
kõigile küllaga.
Teie
Ene Ergma,
Riigikogu esimees
Traditsioon kestab ning Eesti pikima traditsiooniga filmifestival
algab jälle. XXI Pärnu dokumentaal- ja antropoloogiafilmide
festivalil linastuvad filmid, milles autorid panevad vaataja
maailmaga kõnelema. Räägivad majad, kivid, loomad, arhitektuur
ja muidugi ka inimesed. Ning vaataja jälgib nii silmade kui
kõrvadega.
Kuulake ja kuulge, vaadake ja nähke - siis saab maailmas toimuv
seletuse. Soovin teile meeldivaid festivalielamusi!
Teie
Laine Jänes,
Kultuuriminister
Ettevaatust, elektrilised filmid ja tänavafolk!
Huvitav, miks XXI Pärnu filmifestivali eeskava kujuneb
üsna elektriseerituks? On selles süüdi minu enda sukeldumine
poliitikasse või peitub põhjus kaugemal? Äkki on viimaste kuude
sündmused Eestis loonud uue tunnetuse, et oleme lülitunud
ülemaailmsete pingete elektrivõrku? Et vihkamise välk, mis
tapab meie mehi Afganistanis võib homme surmata ka Eestis?
Ja et filmikunst võib olla maandavaks piksevardaks?
Nii nagu kevadel võib mõnel rananiidul kohata plahvatuslikult
palju ühtvärvi liblikaid, nii ilmuvad ka head dokfilmid korraga ja
üsna sarnastel teemadel. Tänased filmitegijad ilmselt tunnetavad,
et viimase romantilise shamaani kõrval on aeg jäädvustada
erinevate kultuuride valusaid kokkupõrkeid. Jälgida inimest ja
tema tundeelu religioossete või poliitiliste veendumuste valguses.
Aidata leida lahendusi, mis taastaksid rahu ja inimlikud seosed
eri kultuuride vahel…
XXI Pärnu Filmifestivali suurimad üllatajad on seekord
vene ja iisraeli filmiloojad. Kõige rohkem filme saabus just neist
riikidest. Film “Pühad sõdalased” on loodud mõõk ühes, piibel
teises käes. Hoiatuseks neile, kes julgevad õigeusu kiriku ja Vene
riigi vastu välja astuda. Festivalil on esindatud ka teine pool.
“Minu sõber Sasha” jutustab süsteemile vastuhakkaja, luuraja
Aleksander Litvinenko traagilise loo. Kunstnik pole kohtunik,
lõplikku tõde ei saa film välja selgitada. Aga on tähtis, et looja
hoiaks kätt aja pulsil ning esitaks olulisi küsimusi. Nagu seda
teeb filmi “Beslan - õigus elada” autor. Ta nõuab, et leitakse ja
karistatakse Beslani laste hukkumise süüdlased.
Ükski poliitiline film pole valitud meie festivali kavasse
hinnaalandusega. Ühelgi juhul pole kunstilise tasemega makstud
lõivu nn. “tähtsale teemale”.
Iisraelist saabus festivalile üle kolmekümne filmi, millest
kaks valisime Eesti Rahva Auhinna nominentideks ning üle
kahekümne etenduvad eriprogrammis “Juudi rahvas eile,
täna, homme”. Kõik iisraeli filmid on atraktiivsed, veenvad
ning tugeva dramaatilise pingega. Eesti vaatajale on vast kõige
huvitavamad filmid palestiina ja juudi rahva okkalisest kooselust.
Kolm dokki (“Esimene rahu õppetund”, “Galil - kool ilma
vaheseinteta”, “Sild üle Wadi”) on üles võetud erinevates
koolides, kus palestiina lapsed õpivad omaette araabia keelt ning
juudi lapsed isekeskis heebrea keelt. Erinevad on ka ajalootunnid
ja hümnid, kuid poisid-tüdrukud mängivad koos ning laste vahel
pole vaenu. See on integratsiooni aeglane variant ehk panus
järgmisele põlvkonnale. Sarnane Moosese tarkusele, kes peatus
juutidega kõrbes nelikümmend aastat enne edasiliikumist Siinai
mäele. Eks ikka selleks, et enne Tõotatud Maale jõudmist kasvaks
asemele uus, rikkumata põlvkond.
XXI festival toob ekraanile palju huvitavat. Nagu ikka
on meil kavas filmid põlisrahvaste kommetest ja rituaalidest.
Ekraanidokumentides suurte loojate elust astuvad vaatajate
ette seekord vene teisitimõtlejad Dimitri Shostakovich, Anatoli
Rõbakov, Aleksander Sahharov, aga ka ameerika filmiikoon
James Dean, prantsuse fotokunstnik Pedra. Tudengifilmide
programm esitleb poola, shoti ja iisraeli noorte vaimukaid
lühifilme.
Filme valides olime päris suure probleemi ees. Nimelt on
digitaalsete kaamerate kättesaadavus toonud kaasa audiovisuaalse
grafomaania meeletu laine. Igaüks võib osta kaamera ja enda
meelest “kunsti” tegema asuda. Meil, festivalikorraldajatel, on
üsna raske tuhandete saabunud filmide hulgast välja noppida
kullateri. Et audiovisuaalne keel Eestis paremini areneks, et
kaameraomanikud õpiksid väikest, kuid mõjuvõimast aparaati
loovalt kasutama, selleks korraldame ka sel suvel filmikooli.
Mati Põldre ja allakirjutanu õpetavad 16 - 20.juulil Pärnus
suhteliselt väikese videokaameraga päris suurt kunsti tegema.
Eelregistreerimine on festivalikeskuses Esplanaadi 10 või
telefonil 44 30 772.
Pärast kaht nädalat Pärnus (8 - 21.juulil) läheb festival
rändama. 21.juulil näeb filme Manija saarerahvas, 22-23.juulil
oleme Haapsalus Evald Okase muuseumis, 24-25.juulil Rakvere
teatris, 26-27.juulil Heimtali rahvamajas, 26-29.juulil Viljandi
kunstimuusemis. Kaasas on nii auhinnatud kui ka kõige
kuumemad filmid.
Kes aga tunneb, et ta kuidagi ei saa end tugitoolist lahti rebida,
see peab leppima 7 filmiga teemal “Koht Päikese all”. Seitse
teravat filmi kultuurikonfliktidest võistlevad ETV-s 8 - 14.juuli
hilisõhtutel ning pärast viimase filmi esitlemist laupäeval, 14.juulil
ootame vaatajate telehääletust numbril 1182. Parima filmi autor
saab aupalgaks kauni Lääne-Eesti kirjadega teki, helistajate vahel
aga loositakse välja Tallinki kruiis Ahvenamaale.
Samal südaööl selgub ka III rahvusvahelise tänavamuusikute
võistumängu “Tänav ja folk” parim moosekant või laulja. Teda
ootab peapreemia 7500 krooni.
XXI Pärnu filmifestivali toetavad Kultuuriministeerium,
Kultuurkapital, Eesti Filmi Sihtasutus, Pärnu linnavalitsus,
Tallink, Prantsuse ja Iisraeli saatkonnad. Meie meediapartnerid
on Postimees ja Eesti Rahvusringhääling. Tänud kõigile
abilistele!
Erilised tänud aga filmiloojatele.
Teilt ootame uusi, veel mõjuvamaid ekraanitöid!

Attention, Electric Films and Street Folk!
How did the program of the 21st Pärnu Film Festival
become so electrified? Is it about my diving into politics or does
the answer lie further away? Perhaps the recent violent events
caused a totally different understanding of flow of history in
Estonia, and created a new recognition that we have switched
into the network of worldwide political electricity? Is it that the
lightning of hate that kills our peace-keepers in Afghanistan
might kill us tomorrow in Estonia? And that film might be the
lightning rod to earth these tensions?
As you may sometimes have noticed in spring, butterflies
of the same pattern multiply in an explosively great amounts.
The same may happen with documentaries that have similar
subjects. Today’s filmmakers obviously sense the need to record
the painful clashes of different cultures. They follow the changes
in man’s emotional life in the light of changing political and
religious convictions. They help to restore peace and human
links between different cultures.
The greatest surprises at the XXI Pärnu Film Festival are
works that originate from Russia and Israel. The Holy Warriors
has been created with the sword in one and the Bible in other
hand, to warn those who dare to confront the Orthodox Church
and the State of Russia. There is also the other side represented
at the festival. The very touching documentary My Friend Sasha
tells the tragic story of a rebel, the spy Alexander Litvinenko.
Artists are not judges, and the final truth cannot be found by
making a work of art. But it is important for the creator to keep
up with the pulse of time and to ask important questions. This
is the position of the author of the film Beslan: Right to Live.
This documentary demands those responsible for the death of
the children in Beslan to be found and punished.
None of the political films selected for the festival have
been selected simply because of its theme. The artistic level
has been primary. We received over 30 submissions from Israel,
two of them have been nominated for the Estonian People’s
Award. Over twenty of these Israeli films will be presented
in the special program Jewish Culture Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.
Maybe for citizens of Estonia the most intriguing are films
about Palestinian and Jewish cultural integration as we face
the same kind problems, here, in relation to Slavic culture and
Russian language. Three documentaries (First Lesson of Peace,
Galil: School without Walls, Bridge Over the Wadi) were filmed in
different schools where Palestinian children are learning Arabic
and Jewish children Hebrew separately. Different history
lessons are taught and different anthems sung, but boys and
girls are playing together without hatred. This is an attempt at
slow integration, a bet on the next generation. It is similar to
the wisdom of Moses who lived in the desert with the Jews
before moving on to the highlands of Sinai to raise a new virgin
generation before reaching the Promised Land.
The 21st festival brings a lot of new documentaries to
Estonia. We continue to screen films on the life of indigenous
peoples, their customs and the rituals which help them to
survive. This summer we also present a special program of
film portraits of powerful personalities. Their subjects are
outstanding creators of Russian culture and science, such
as Dimitri Shostakovich, Anatoli Rybakov and Aleksander
Sakharov. In the same program of world talents we show a
documentary on American film icon James Dean and French
photo artist Pedra, killed during national uprising in Hungary
in 1956. The program of student films includes witty shorts
shot by Polish, Scottish and Israeli young talents.
While selecting the films we were faced with quite a problem.
The availability of easy to use digital cameras has caused a huge
wave of audiovisual grapho-mania - an endless production at low
level. Today anyone can lay hands a high tech camera and make
“art”. It is quite difficult for the festival team to pick out the
golden nuggets in this sea gray sand. To develop the audiovisual
language and to help camera owners to use their equipment
creatively we have again organized a summer film school. Mati
Põldre and myself, both veteran documentary film makers, will
teach attendees how to use video cameras for artistic purposes
on July 16-20th. Please, register in the festival office, Esplanaadi
St.10 , or let us know by phone 44 30 772.
After the two weeks in Pärnu (July 8-21) the festival will go
on wheels. In July 21st he best documentaries arrive to Manija
island, in July 22-23rd we are in Haapsalu at the Museum of
Evald Okas, in July 24-25th in Rakvere Theatre, in July 26-27th
at Heimtali country club, in July 26-29th at Viljandi Art Museum.
We’ll take along most intriguing award-winning films.
For those who love most their own armchairs, seven films
of the series Place Under the Sun will be broadcast by Estonian
TV. Seven dramatic documentaries about cultural conflicts in
different parts of the world will compete on air at late night
between July 8-14. After the last show in Saturday, July 14th, we
call all TV audience to vote for the best film. For that, please,
just dial 1182 and say the title of your favorite film. The author
of the best film will receive from the President of Estonian
Parliament Riigikogu Ms. Ene Ergma the Estonian People’s
Award - a nice hand woven traditional blanket.
At the same night the best singers and musicians of the 3rd
International Music Contest Street and Folk will be presented with
their awards as well, since the final concert of street musicians
overlaps with film festival award ceremony.
XXI Pärnu Film Festival is supported by Ministry of Culture,
Cultural Endowment, Estonian Film Foundation, Pärnu Town
Council, Tallink, Embassies of France and Israel. Our media
partners are daily paper Postimees and ETV. Thanks to all of
them!
And very special thanks to all filmmakers for their
masterpieces. We are awaiting your next surprising works for
the screen!

ABOUT THE BODY
55 min. 2006 Israel
Michal, Ilana, Hila & Aviv are four young women in their 20’s who were severely injured in
terrorist attacks. For 3 months the film crew followed them in a unique body workshop by
Israel Prize Winner dancer Ohad Naharin. After the injury they were all compelled to confront
a new perception of their selves and their femininity. A story about the brave journey they had
to take to reconnect to their once cherished bodies.

BESLAN. THE RIGHT TO LIVE
52 min. 2006 Russia
Two years passed since the tragedy in Beslan, but still there are no answers: authorities don’t
know what to say and the community is almost indifferent...Even if you know in advance that
you cannot find the truth or that the truth doesn’t exist--which is one and the same--this doesn’t
mean that one shouldn’t look for it. From time to time, when looking at fragments of history,
you understand that it’s not necessary to know in details what exactly happened; it’s simply
important not to ignore it and to remember that this could happen to any of us.

BESLAN - ÕIGUS ELADA
Autor Olga Stefanova
Kaks aastat pärast Beslani tragöödiat pole ikka veel selge, kes oli sadade laste hukkumises
süüdi. Konflikti kumbki pool ei taha oma vigu tunnistada. Vigadest õppimata aga võib taoline
massimõrv korduda. Miks ei suudeta rahulikult aru pidada sügava kultuurikonflikti üle? Üksnes
süüdlasi otsides pole kellelgi võimalik leida oma kindlat kohta Päikese all, ütleb filmi autor.
58 min. 2006 Denmark (filmed in Afganistan)
Malalai Joya is a 28-year-old Afghani woman who ran her country’s first democratic parliamentary
elections in 2005 after 30 years of totalitarian rule. A survivor of repeated assassination attempts,
she spreads her message surrounded by guards. How can democracy be introduced in a country
where almost everyone is illiterate, votes are for sale and women cannot leave their children
to vote? As the film eloquently reminds us, it takes more than Western soldiers and diplomats.
Joya is a controversial voice for a nation ruined by war and ruled by tradition, and a voice with
a desperate urge for change.
ÕNNE VAENLASED
Autor Eva Mulvad
Malalai Joya on 28-aastane afgaani naine. Taani filmiloojad jälgivad tema valimiskampaaniat
riigi parlamenti. Need on esimesed demokraatlikud valimised pärast 30-aastast vaheaega. Film
jälgib julget naist, kes hoolimata korduvatest surmaähvardustest, lõpuks ka Rahvusassambleesse
valitakse. Malalai Joya vastuoluline, kuid samas sugestiivne hääl sisendab sõdadest ruineeritud
rahvale usku paremasse homsesse.

56 min. 2006 Israel
First Lessons in Peace explores the Jewish – Arab conflict through the eyes of a six year old
girl, the film director’s daughter when she starts school at the mixed Arab – Jewish primary
school – Neveh Shalom – The Oasis of Peace. This school is the first swallow in providing
Jewish and Arab children with an educational framework for learning together. The author of
this documentary, the son of Zionist immigrants from Australia to Israel, and his wife Ofira,
whose father was killed by Arabs in one of the Arab-Israel wars, accompany Michal in her first
days at school. . They are full of fears and apprehension, concern and many politically incorrect
second thoughts, especially when both Yoram’s Zionist father and Ofira’s extreme right wing
brother express opposition to the parent’s decision on their young daughter’s future education
at this Arab- Jewish experimental school.
The film reaches a climax on Israel Memorial Day and Israel Independence Day, which is also the
Palestinian Al-Nachba – the Day of Disaster, bringing all those featured in the film into sharply
differing views and situations, some complicated and angry, some courageous and surprising
– but all demonstrating the great complexity and enduring difficulties of this multi-faceted
conflict. In many ways, this film represents an open, honest, and human representation, a virtual
microcosm of the long and terrible conflict between two nations and two cultures.
ESIMENE RAHU ÕPPETUND
Autor Yoram Honig
Juutide ja palestiinlaste kooselu Iisraelis on sama, mis kiikuda hommikust õhtuni püssirohutünni
otsas. Väiksemgi valeliigutus võib põhjustada verevalamise. Filmi autor usub, et rahvuslikul pinnal
idanevate konfliktide vältimiseks tasub araabia ja juudi lapsi õpetada ühises koolis. Tema enda
kuue-aastane tütar lähebki sellise algkooli esimesse klassi ning isa järgneb talle kaameraga. Kooli
nimeks on Neveh Shalom , mis tõlkes tähendab Rahu Oaasi.

51 min. 2006 Poland (filmed in Belorussia)
After the Soviet Union collapsed, Belorus became an independent country and a humanistic
Lyceum was founded in Minsk with the aim of raising an elite Byelorussian intelligentsia.
However, in 1995, Lukashenka came to power. Democracy and freedom came to an end. Also
the Lyceum was labelled a banned institution. The Lyceum pupils did not give up though, but
steadfastly kept studying underground. The presidential elections, for which Lukashenka changed
the Constitution in order to be elected for a third term, become the culmination of this film.
Despite the fear of repression, thousands of people take to the streets. In the main square
of Minsk, the Lyceum pupils join forces to build a tent city, which is then brutally crushed by
militia. Hundreds of people end up in prison. However, the Lyceum pupils do not give up.
They deeply believe that one day Belorus will be a free country.
VALGEVENE ÕPPETUND
Autor Miroslaw Dembinski
Valgevene noortele, kes huvitatud demokraatia kiirest arenemisest, on viimased aastad olnud
valusaks õppetunniks. President Lukashenko on osanud suurema osa rahvast ja eriti maainimesed
enda poolele meelitada. Ummikseis on kujunenud omamoodi õppetunniks presidendilegi. Filmi
autoril õnnestus luua valus ja samas kunstiliselt haarav pilt sündmustest, mis Minskis tõeliselt
aset leidsid.

MY DEATH, NOT YOURS

Description: In the middle of the 1970’s, Lars Barthel was a camera student at the film school in
Babelsberg. Together with other students, he tried to fathom the boundaries of the school and
find loopholes for their projects. Often, difficulties started with obtaining a filming permit.
Other times there were problems with editing. In defiance of this daily skirmish, the students
were not dissuaded from enjoying the sensual pleasures of life. They partied, had love-stories
and sometimes even gained a Pyrrhic victory. Suddenly, an unfamiliar ‘creature’ entered this
atmosphere, as if from a different planet. Chetna Vora came to the GDR at the age of 16 to
study directing. She was the daughter of a communist functionary and came to this ‘better world’
to get to know the country, its people and their ideas. Lars Barthel and Chetna Vora fall in love
and had a child together. But the ‘period of grace’ at the school came to an end. They still shared
the same reality, but their dreams started to head in different directions. Lars Barthel wanted
to go to India while Chetna Vora preferred West Berlin. In 1982, the exit visa was authorised
and an odyssey commenced full of disappointments and divisiveness. Lars Barthel never really
managed to deflect – let alone understand – the tragic loss of Chetna.
In his first film as director he goes on a journey into the past – the result is a poetic documentary
that does not evade any of the painful truths.
MINU SURM POLE SINU SURM
Autor Lars Barthel
Chetna tuli Ida-Saksamaale Indiast. Tüdruk oli alles kaheksateistkümnene ja filmi autor
kahekümne kolme aastane. Nad õppisid koos filmikoolis Babelsbergis. Lars ja Chetna leidsid
peagi ühise kodu siin selle Päikese all ja varsti ilmus sellesse ka nende ühine laps. Larsi tõmbas
India suunas, Chetna aga soovis kolida Lääne-Berliini. Saatus tahtis kahjuks aga nii, et tosin
aastat hiljem noor hindu naine suri filmivõtetel. Nüüd, aastakümneid hiljem, otsustas Lars Barthel
minna Indiasse, et otsida jälgi oma noorusarmastusest.
Erinevate kultuuride omamoodi arusaamad elust ja surmast andsid alust üheks väga tõsiseks
filmimõtiskluseks.

AFTER THE RAINS CAME: SEVEN SHORT STORIES ABOUT
OBJECTS AND LIFEWORLDS
20 min. 2006 UK (filmed in Kenya)
The Samburu of Northern Kenya are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people with a vibrant oral
tradition. Their culture is strongly associated with objects, bodily adornment, storytelling and
singing.
This film is divided into vignettes to reflect Samburu cosmology. While each vignette explores
a different stage in the life cycle of the natural and human world, each pause between vignettes
reflects the Samburu belief that only something made by the hand of Nkai (God) can be
continuous and perfect.

War has united different generations of people for whom coming home to Grozny became
impossible because of absurd reasons.
The film is a recollection of memories, travelling in three relative spaces.
A dormitory for displaced persons situated in a lost empty field. People who exist without
present and future, with unwrapped burned lives.
Arthur, a Chechen and the vocalist of the Dead Dolphins band, recollects his native and
beloved city.
Exhausted, abandoned by the souls of people used to live there, Grozny city is in ruins. For the
first time after the war, a Russian girl is coming here to see her former home, to say goodbye

30 min. 2006 Denmark (filmed in Pakistan)
The Kalash are a non-Muslim minority of about 4000 people living in the Hindukush Mountains
of Northwest Pakistan. Among this people, funerals are the most important rituals. The Kalash
themselves consider their funerals beautiful expressions of their culture. In the summer of
2005, the oldest man in Rumbour passed away. One year before, he spoke about his life before
the camera. This film combines two elements – a life remembered by a happy old man, and
his funeral and all the rites around it. The villagers have seen the film and agree to screening
it elsewhere.

Jósef and Basia are a homeless married couple. This documentary depicts their journey through
Poland in search of a home they could call their own. In this „road movie” they meet different
people. When they need money, they search through dustbins for stuff to sell. They sleep in
derelict houses or in the woods.
Jósef and Basia recount their lives, years of homelessness and their relationship. It turns out
it is not the house that really counts for them, but the very fact that they are together. So long
as love keeps them together, hope lives on too.

PENUMBRA
58 min. 2006 Ireland/England (filmed in Ireland and USA)
Two people have been writing to each other for almost five years. One of them, Jim, is an artist.
Penumbra follows the journey of Gwynne, from Ireland through America to meet Jim for the
first time. The journey is illustrated by Jim’s drawings. Along the journey Gwynne approaches
strangers (people in bars, garage attendants, chefs, waitresses, bus drivers, etc) and asks them
to read extracts from the letters written over the last five years. In this way we not only get to
learn about the friendship. We also get a feel for the strange towns and characters along the
journey. We visit restaurants and order food exactly as written in Jim’s letters.
Penumbra opens in Ireland with snippets of Ireland and some of its people. We then move on
to Boise, Idaho, where we meet Jim’s mother and stepfather. It is at this point in the film that
we learn that Jim is in prison. The journey continues down through Nevada and California
where Jim’s brother Hiram lives. Hiram takes us on a tour of houses and schools that Jim and
Hiram lived in and attended as children. He also reveals his lack of contact with his brother.
We also meet a good friend of Jim’s.
Finally, we arrive in Arizona where Jim lives. The letters have become less light-hearted and
begin to describe conditions in the prison. Once we arrive at the prison it is revealed that Jim
is on Death Row…

Japtik-Hasse is one of the younger members of the very large Japtik family. He is also their
good spirit and therefore privileged to ride on a holy slide. As it is the end of August, the
Nenets people commence their journey on the ‘middle-world’ as usual (under-world – the north,
upper-world – the south, middle-world – the way). Their camp was in Tundra, on the Yamal
Peninsula. We meet Jarkalyn, who is only one-year-old and Jako, his two and a half-years-old
brother, who is already very precise at throwing the lasso; there is also Ejne, without children,
and the parents as well as the 90 years old shaman Iri Tadibe and finally the eldest, Chado,
who was all her life considerate of the reindeers and therefore never carried or pulled by them.
Film maker Edgar Bartenev chooses three different means to tell the story of the breathtaking
everyday life of these Siberian nomads. Music (relatively aggressive, structuring the rhythm
of perception), inter-titles (fairy-tale-like and funny), and last but not least a camera. Yet, the
latter is used in a very sophisticated way, well above the feature-film standard. The result is a
reanimated ethnographic genre in an alienated way!

Ülemine maailm asub põhjas, alumine maailm lõunas ning keskmine vahepeal. Suvel ollakse

ANATOLY RYBAKOV: THE RUSSIAN STORY
52 min. 2006 Russia, USA
“Stalin walked over a million corpses to get to his throne.” With fiery eyes, Anatoly Rybakov
looks into the camera of Marina Goldovskaya. Over the course of several years, the Russian
filmmaker talked to Rybakov at his home, first in Russia and later in New York. In 1998,
Rybakov died of complications after heart surgery at the age of 87. In Children of the Arbat,
Rybakov’s most famous book, he writes about the 1930s, when Stalin established a totalitarian
regime at the expense of an entire generation – a generation the leader had always despised.
As a victim of Stalin’s political purges, Rybakov was imprisoned in Siberia, later released, and
worked as a labourer and a tank commander in World War II. In the film, he talks about how
he became a writer. He isolated himself in a remote village with the assignment of completing
a book. “A man has to listen to his calling.” He is still pugnacious and worries a lot about his
motherland. Gorbachev’s perestroika brought positive change, but “what is the great ideal that
our people are suffering for now?” Goldovskaya intersperses Rybakov’s story with jump cuts
of expressive, topical footage of fascist groups ascending the ranks in Russia.

JAMES DEAN – LITTLE PRINCE, LITTLE BASTARD
90 min. 2005 Germany (filmed in Germany and USA)
James Dean – alias Jim Stark – crouching at the roadside, giggling childishly to himself. James
Dean – alias Cal – lying in a corn field watching the fruit grow. James Dean – alias James Dean
– the collar of his coat turned up in New York: images which have contributed to the building
up of a myth – the image of eternal and misunderstood youth. Unlike Marlon Brando, the
proletarian rebel with identifiable goals, James Dean was the timeless and androgynous youthful
rebel. It was through this that he was transformed into an icon of a media-created youth culture,
the shadow of which still hangs over us today.

A JOURNEY OF DIMITRY SHOSTAKOVICH
75 min. USA/Russia
The life of Dmitry Shostakovich, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, remains one
of its biggest mysteries. The nine chapters of A JOURNEY OF DMITRY SHOSTAKOVICH
are framed by nine days of the last round-trip journey on a Soviet ocean liner to the United States.
The narration is based on Shostakovich’s letters and diaries which are in sharp contrast with the
propaganda movies shown on board of the cruise ship. Archival footage of the composer’s life
that has never been seen before offers insight into the mystery of how Shostakovich was able
to penetrate the ironclad curtain with his music and deeply affect Western audiences.
DIMITRI ŠOSTAKOVITŠI REIS
Autorid Oksana Dvornichenko, Helga Landauer
Helilooja Dimitri Šostakovitši elu jääb ikka veel XX sajandi suureks mõistatuseks. Filmi üheksa
osa on raamitud nõukogude kruiisilaeva 9-päevase reisiga USA-sse. Filmi tekst baseerub helilooja
kirjadel ja päevikutel, propagandapilt aga räägib hoopis millestki muust. Siiani on selgusetu,
kuidas Šostakovitš suutis oma muusikaga tungida läbi raudse eesriide ning sügavalt mõjutada
lääne publikut.

THE MONASTERY
This is a story about the 82-year-old bachelor Mr. Vig, who has never known love, and Sister
Amvrosija, a young Russian nun, who by chance or destiny becomes part of his life. 50 years
ago, Jørgen Lauersen Vig bought Hesbjerg Castle, situated in the Danish countryside, with the
purpose of turning it into a monastery. Now, many years later, he is about to realise his dream.
A group of Russian Orthodox nuns are on their way, and thus Mr. Vig’s life-long dream is about
to come true. But nuns have plans and wills of their own, and Mr. Vig must realise that the road
to fulfilling his dream is very different than what he imagined.

MY HUSBAND ANDREI SAKHAROV
52 min. 2006 Latvia/France (filmed in USA and Russia)
How does the “brains” of the Soviet regime, an academician, the “father” of the hydrogen
bomb, an outstanding intellectual for whom all doors were open even in the Kremlin, become
an irreconcilable champion of human rights and prisoner of conscience, and an internationally
renowned enemy of this system? This documentary answers in an intriguing form – by
confronting the views of the witnesses of those times! His widow Yelena Bonner and the last
Secretary General of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev are the
two brightest participants in this indirect debate in the film, which not only by presenting facts
and their interpretations, but also by using unique KGB materials makes one think about the
games of power as well as guarantees of human freedom not only in Russia.

THE VIOLIN KNIGHT
52 min. 2006 Czech Republic
„A white person’s eyes see differently than mine, than eyes of a Roma,“ said the violin knight
Marek Balog as the shooting of a documentary about him started. Since then, he strove to
have the film completely under his control. Day after day, he patiently put forth his vision of
a „Roma (gypsy) documentary“, to finally divert the disoriented director from the course of
events. Balog decided to create a genuine, unbiased picture of the Roma world, unchained by
the limits of realism and rules of verity. And so he did. Spontaneously and with abandon,
he mixes various styles and genres. The film strays completely from the paths of standard
documentary. In sharp turns, it barely sticks to the route of elementary comprehensibility. In
the end, it disappears on the horizon of breathtaking gypsy imagination!

This experimental film presents three extreme lives. Each of these three people has its own

order to negate time and life totally. The second, the author herself, is trying to slow down her
time flow and fatally reaches the same result. The third character David tries to synchronize
his inner time with real time. He simply quits his personal life in order to improve a higher
sense of life.

Born in 1977, Yossi was the first-born child of Malki and Kalman, an ultra-orthodox couple
from Jerusalem. Like many hundreds of babies, he received, at the age of 11 months, a defective
vaccination (MMR). Within a short time, this blond, sweet, active child turned into a blind, deaf,
violent and hyperactive child. For the next seven years, Malki and Kalman wandered around
the world, looking for a cure for Yossi, refusing to hospitalise him in an institution for the rest
of his life. During this period, Yossi grew up with no communication with the outer world,
tongue-tied and deaf – a child resembling an animal. When Yossi was eight years old, they met
Shoshana – the woman who taught him to utter a word for the first time in his life, enabling
the spring, which was blocked throughout his lost childhood, to stem. Today, Yossi is 28 years
old and wishes to get married. From his point of view, this is one more step on his path, to
separate himself from the lead bell put on him on that disastrous day. For his parents, Malki
and Kalman Samuels – this is a life crisis. The film follows Yossi on his journey to find a bride
– can he find her despite his awful handicap? How would his parents cope with his new needs?
How would they cope with the fact that there is a limit to what they can give him? What will
bring joy to Yossi’s life? What is the meaning of happiness? Everybody has the right to their
own place under the Sun. This concerns to Yossi, too.

AN AFRICAN BRASS BAND
70 min. 2004-2006 France (filmed in Ivory Coast)
At the beginning of the 20th century in Jacqueville, near Abidjan on the Ivory Coast, traditional
music was forbidden by the missionaries. But the inhabitants’ enjoyment of their local festivals
proved stronger, and the little town developed its own brass band.
AAFRIKA PASUNAKOOR
Autor Hugo Zemp
Kahekümnenda sajandi alguses keelasid misjonärid Elevandiluurannikul traditsioonilise
rahvamuusika viljelemise. Sellest hoolimata säilisid rahvalikud muusikafestivalid ja nii elas rasked
ajad üle ka filmi peategelane – ühe väikelinna pasunakoor.

THE AGOUTI’S PEANUT
51 min. 2005 Brazil
The daily life of the Panará village during the peanut harvest, presented by a young teacher, a
female shaman and the chief of the village. As the young boys of this indigenous community
suit up to play an intense game of soccer in a clearing in their village, their coach tells us that
soccer is a lot like traditional indigenous games.
The documentary examines everyday work and recreation of the Panará people who blend their
traditional ways with the influences of official Brazilian culture.
A couple hunts unsuccessfully for game, the village doctor searches for medical herbs in the
forest to perform a healing ritual, the boys play soccer and go fishing, and women perform a
dance to celebrate the peanut harvest. According to their traditional belief, the agouti, a small
four-legged animal, gave the peanut to the Panará. They show their appreciation and respect
for the agouti through an elaborate dance.
The Agouti’s Peanut presents an optimistic look at contemporary indigenous life and the
possibility of harmonious co-existence for indigenous and official culture.

ALPINE SAGA
97 min. 2006 Switzerland
A unique opportunity to experience the last remaining mountain haymakers in the Muotatal, a
valley in Schwyz canton, Switzerland. Award-winning director Langjahr returns to his beloved
Alps to record a group of people continuing the legacy of their forefathers. Every year on
Swiss National Day, August 1, the Wildheuer climb up the steep mountain of the “Hinteren
Heubrig”, fitted out with scythes and wearing wooden shoes with spikes, just as their ancestors
did before them. They are part of a generation that has lived with the challenges of nature and
survived. In his film, Langjahr’s poetic realism gives an insight into these people’s experience
of the simple life, the very foundation of human existence.

AND THE MOUNTAINS ARE THE SAME
6 min. 2006 Norway
The sea-Sámi settlements in the Norwegian counties of Finnmark and North-Troms were
burned down completely during World War II. The German invaders erased all traces of the
sea-Sámi culture and their traditional landscape in the north.
After the war the rebuilding started with a new post-war optimism and the old sea-Sámi cultural
landscape was replaced by something new. After this, the Norwegian Government reduced
fisheries and small farming in the north. This resulted in many people leaving
this region of Norway. Buildings, boats, barns and sheds have since decayed. The cultural
landscape and historic roads are now overgrown. This is a culture that disappears slowly,
with the people and their history.
The decay is both beautiful and sad. It tells us about a time that has passed, and that something
new is on its way. But also that the sea-Sami history and landscape are again disappearing, this
time through the industrialisation and mechanising of farming and fishing, and not by war.

An isolated and forgotten valley, located in the highest Portuguese mountains, hides the last

youngest shepherd living in this valley. How long will he maintain this occupation? How can
the survival of this job be helped?

AS OLD AS MY TONGUE:
THE MYTH AND LIFE OF BI KIDUDE
66 min. 2006 UK/Zanzibar (filmed in Zanzibar, UK, France)
An intimate portrait of living legend Bi Kidude, probably the oldest singer on the world stage
today. Her home island of Zanzibar has long been a meeting point for black African and Arabic
influence. The island’s music is its most potent expression.
Bi Kidude beguiles audiences wherever she travels but domestically she continually courts
controversy, her behaviour challenging perceptions of the role of women in a Muslim
society.
As Old As My Tongue reveals the dramatic contrasts in the life of this iconic musician and
features a classic soundtrack spanning one hundred years of Swahili music.

BAHAIS IN MY BACKYARD
54 min. 2006 Israel (filmed in Israel and USA)
World peace, no less, is what the Bahai faith wants - a widespread and mysterious religion. This
is an investigative road movie about a feel-good religion, two overachieving directors, a prophet’s
great-granddaughter, and a CIA agent. A detective-like quest after the Bahai religion, which
originated in Iran some 150 years ago, and out of all the places in the world ended up building
its world centre on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel, - right in our backyard. Asaf grew up next to
the beautiful Bahai gardens, staring out of his bedroom window when the Bahais excavated the
entire Mount Carmel and built a secret underground city. As a grown-up he shared his thoughts
and fears with Naama. They joined forces to try and find out what, literally, lies beneath the
Bahai Gardens – and document it cinematically. The directors’ mission starts in their backyard,
using all their un-polished detective skills to get their hands on as much information about the
underground city as possible. They take numerous trips to the Bahai gardens as mere “tourists”
and try to find some loopholes that can lead them to the floors below.

BRASSY BANDS
52 min. 2007 Romania/France (filmed in Romania)
At the beginning of the last century, Romanian peasants discovered the solemn music of
military bands when they went into the cities. They were so impressed by these that they
wanted to have brass bands in their villages as well. With the arrival of the communists, these
popular country marching brass bands were invited to participate at official events. The regime
confiscated their land, built immense industrial complexes and many of the farm-workers
became factory workers. The brass bands then became a symbol of the people’s well-being
and the brotherhood between the farm and factory workers. With the fall of the Communist
regime, many factories closed down…

BRIDGE OVER THE WADI
54 min. 2006 Israel
In 2004, Arab and Israeli parents embarked on a joint initiative to establish a bilingual elementary
school in Kara, a village in Israel’s Wadi Valley. Some fierce debates preceded the opening
of the school in September of that year. Although the initiative was idealistic and noble, the
reality of it was that parents still had some major hurdles to overcome. In addition, they were
forced to defend their decision in the face of opponents and sceptics. The school, which is
called Bridge over the Wadi, has space for 50 Jewish and 50 Arab students, but is located in
the Arab part of the valley. In a sober manner, the filmmakers observe how students, faculty
and parents struggle to coexist peacefully during the first exciting year. Teachers spend a lot
of time teaching mutual respect, and they arrange field trips to the mosque and the Wailing
Wall in Jerusalem. Some parents feel the reciprocal integration goes too far when students are
asked to participate in each other’s religious festivities. An Arab teacher has more and more
difficulties with what parents expect of her. By the end of the year, it would appear that they
have succeeded in establishing a foundation, however shaky and unpredictable it may be. In
2005, twice as many students signed up to attend the school.

CHARGING THE RHINO
52 min. 2006 Canada (filmed in Canada and Romania)
CHARGING THE RHINO is a documentary comprised of footage collected over a decade. It
explores the relationship between filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and his late father, Joseph, who
on June 29, 1941 was shot and left for dead among his family in Iasi, Romania. CHARGING
THE RHINO poses questions such as: how do you live for fifty years after you’ve been shot
in the heart? And what was behind the world’s strangest bank robbery? The answers are found
in the tale of the Jacobovici family. Deeply personal, psychologically layered and stylistically
innovative, CHARGING THE RHINO tells the story of a family, a place and a time, intercut
with a modern day pilgrimage to Iasi by Simcha and his sister.

„My soul is like a snowflake. You are melting it.“
Time does not exist in the psychiatric hospital in Surami, Georgia. Excruciatingly slowly, the

the huge buckets, for a psychiatrist to find the time to examine them, for a breath of fresh air
on the central lawn.
Children of Stalin demonstrates the powerful will to survive of people in vulnerable
circumstances in a compelling and often moving way. One forgets there is still a world outside

Okunevo is a village in Western Siberia, Russia. This is a place with anomalous energy. The
representatives of various religions come here to perform their devotions. At this intersection
of religions the hero of the film seems to be “a human-intersection”.
RISTTEE

Okunevo on külake Lääne-Siberis. Arvatakse, et paika valitseb anomaalne energiaväli. Erinevate
usulahkude ja religioonide esindajad tulevad siia oma jumalatele austust avaldama. Tänu usundite
ristumisele jääb mulje, nagu oleks filmi peakangelane samuti mitme jumala teener.

DEAR EDMOND
82 min. 2006 Israel
Amit Goren: At age 45, my partner and I began fertility treatments with the hope of parenting
a child of our own. For five months we were confined to our home with a high risk pregnancy
of triplets, with just a 5% chance of success. During this period I filmed moments that would
eventually become my family’s memory. From my balcony I shot daily life on Rothschild
Boulevard, the heart of the first Hebrew city, where Tel Aviv was born in 1909, where the first
triplets of the boulevard were expected. Our new situation raised questions about our financial
capabilities, careers and our relationship, as well as issues of identity. I sought stories and images
of the past, an understanding of the way things used to be, when we were happy.

THE EXODUS DECODED
93 min. 2006 Canada (filmed in Canada, Egypt and Israel)
Exodus. The very word evokes an epic tale of Pharaohs and Israelites, plagues and miracles, the
splitting of the sea, the drowning of an army, Moses and the revelation at Sinai. The story is at
the very heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. But many historians argue that the Exodus
is a myth. Others disagree.
In The Exodus Decoded, we analyse the latest archaeological findings and scientific papers; we
explore the dusty back rooms of out-of-the-way libraries and museums around the world; and
we track down dozens of forgotten relics and ancient documents. Individually, these findings
are historical curiosities. Together they tell the true story of the Exodus.
In an explosive 2-hour documentary special, The Exodus Decoded solves the mystery of the
events of the Biblical Exodus for the first time ever.

Tamar Einstein is an artist and art therapist who crosses the invisible borders of religion,
ethnicity, gender, and language in Jerusalem. This intimate documentary film follows Tamar’s
day-to-day journeys with Christian, Muslim, and Jewish clients in need of healing. Working in
collaboration with social workers and caregivers, Tamar demonstrates innovative approaches
to expressive art therapies with special needs kids, at-risk teens, drug users, educators, and
patients with chronic and terminal illnesses. While some road maps in the Middle East are
directed towards political ends, Tamar’s unique process guides the citizens of Jerusalem towards
matters of the heart.

FUNERAL CHANTS FROM THE GEORGIAN CAUCASUS
21 min. 2007 France (filmed in Georgia)
The villages of Svaneti province are located in north-western Georgia, in the valleys that lie
between the high peaks of the Caucasus. The Svans represent about 1% of the Georgian
population. Their language differs from the Georgian language, and their religion is a syncretism
of Orthodox Christian faith and pre-Christian beliefs. The polyphony of the Svans appears as
one of the major styles of Georgian vocal art. It consists of two soloist voices and the bass
of the choir.
In their funeral rituals, the Svans combine three vocal expressions which are rarely found
nowadays in other parts of the world: women’s individual laments punctuated by collective cries
like in Ancient Greece, men’s individual laments, and polyphonic chants by male choirs.
While the individual laments are aimed at the deceased and the souls of departed people, the
men’s polyphonic chants use no words but a series of syllables that follow a set pattern. With
chords partly dissonant to a Western European ear, and without any cries other than musically
stylised ones, these collective chants of great intensity manage to convey the helplessness and
inexpressible grief of Man faced with death.

GALIL – A SCHOOL WITH NO WALLS
72 min. France/Israel
This film tells the story of the bilingual bi-national Jewish-Arab Galil School. In Galilee, Israel’s
most ethnically diverse region, a group of Jewish and Arab parents decided to send their children
to learn side by side. 200 Muslim, Jewish and Christian kids study today in the school. Each class
is half-Jewish, half-Arab and two teachers teach both in Hebrew and in Arabic.
For the parents and staff of the school, the question of how to teach the past today in order to
offer a different future to their kids is not a theoretical one. It is the way they chose to survive
their reality.

A HEBREW LESSON
123 min. 2006 Israel
Chin left her daughter in China and came to Israel to make a living. She cleaned Ehud’s house,
and they fell in love... Sasha never considered immigrating to Israel, but four years after his wife
left Russia with their daughter, he understood that life without his child is worthless. He left
a thriving business behind only to find himself in Tel Aviv’s worst neighbourhood... Marisol
grew up as a Jewish Princess in Lima, Peru, and came to Israel to learn something about life. An
unexpected pregnancy alters her plans... These and other characters meet in A Hebrew Lesson
where their personal stories meld with the complexities of Israeli reality. The immense effort
of learning a new language is revealed through their encounter with a strange culture and an
unfamiliar environment. Israeli society is revealed through the eyes of foreigners. This gaze, at
times funny, at times sad, paints their daily reality with irony. But beyond the obvious differences,
the human common denominator of longing and love, triumphs time and again.

Four different cultures whose customs and traditions have barely evolved in time are exposed

of their ancestors and their rather primitive weapons help them survive.

After being suppressed by Christian missionaries as well as by Soviet anti-religious campaigns,
Siberian shamanism has now experienced an unprecedented revival. The number of shamans

tricksters? Magicians? Witch-doctors? Or just salesmen of folk shows for tourists?
This documentary explores this phenomenon in a region of Siberia seldom captured on film
that has remained an outpost of shamanism in the Mongol world since the times of Genghis
Khan.

This documentary follows key figures in the Israeli art scene. Twelve different artists from

LIFE WITH SLATE
59 min. 2006 Norway (filmed in Nepal)
Alampu is a beautiful and exceedingly remote village in Nepal. The majority of the settlers there
are Thami people, one of the indigenous peoples of Nepal. More than 90 percent of them have
been involved in slate production at Alampu. This film includes technical details about slate
production in the mountainside mine, and how the slate is worked prior to distribution. In the
film, we see the social relationships, co-operation between the miners, and the intimacy of the
mining families. Strong women perform the tough and arduous work alongside the men. They
have to carry heavy slate loads far to sell them. The film also describes the socio-cultural life
of the village and its interaction with the environment. The activities of the men and women
in the mine, as well as in the village, have an almost poetic dimension.

LOOKING FOR LOVE
28 min. 2006 Vietnam
This documentary records an original meeting point in the high mountains of Northern Vietnam,
in the heart of the Khau Vai Love Market. The Hmong people of this isolated region come to
Khau Vai to trade in that most rare of commodities; love.
Amidst the colour and the spectacle of the event, it soon becomes apparent that here – as is
likely the case the world over – the course of true love never runs smooth.
Looking for Love offers a fascinating insight into the harsh reality of the lives of the Hmong
people of Northern Vietnam and reveals the warmth, humour and sense of practicality with
which they choose to live.

MANGROVE MUSIC
49 min. 2007 UK
This film follows two music bands on the Caribbean island of Culebra. The Municipal Steel
Band of Culebra is an orchestra consisting entirely of steel drums and the Wiki Sound is a conga
percussion trio. While the groups represent contradictory musical styles and performances, the
fact that they both foster a sense of community as they travel to different places in the Caribbean
brings them together. Their travels speak to the mobile dimensions of Caribbean music-making
and music performance while producing a sense of island uniqueness.

METAMORPHOSIS
57 min. 2006 Israel
Metamorphosis is based on testimonies of women who have experienced rape or incest, and
of Greek myths of rape that results in metamorphosis. Arachne, the narrator of the film,
is a mythological figure who was transformed into a spider by the gods as punishment for
spinning their acts of rape into webs. In the film, Arachne spins the testimonies alongside the
mythological stories of rape as one cultural continuum, creating a web that is a powerful and
profound indictment. Netalie Braun attempts to locate a forgotten voice, to tell the story from
the inside, to allow a space for a narrative that is difficult to hear and which illuminates the
rotten outline of culture.

MY EYES
Katja, 16 years old, and Cathrine, 8, have a unique relationship to music, nature and sensation
per se. Both girls are blind but have developed their other senses, and they use them much more
keenly than most people around them. Filmmaker Erlend E. Mo interprets their perceptual
world that is as rich and nuanced as any seeing person’s, only different. The film portrays the
intimacy and intensity of the girls’ environment in few words, affording glimpses into a poetic,
subjective experience and making us see a familiar world with fresh eyes.

MY FRIEND SASHA: A VERY RUSSIAN MURDER
48 min. 2007 UK/Russia
For three years before his death from poisoning, former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko had
been making a documentary with his friend Andrei Nekrasov about authoritarianism in postcommunist Russia. Here is that film, the unexpected ending of which made world headlines
at the end of 2006.
Andrei Nekrasov was a friend of Alexander Litvinenko. They had met when Nekrasov was
making a film about the effect of the Chechen war on children. The two became closer as
Nekrasov became interested in Litvinenko’s career – from KGB man to critic of Putin and,
latterly, critic of the entire society which had allowed KGB-style practises to continue in postcommunist Russia. As Litvinenko says in the film, “In the old days there were communists and
there were criminals. Now there are only criminals.” Heavy words…

NAF: A STREET KID
80 min. 2006 Israel
The shocking and revealing documentation of a homeless boy’s life over a two and a half
year period. Naf (Naftali) is an ultra-orthodox boy thrown out of his parents’ home for being
a “bad apple”. From the age of 14, he wanders the streets of Jerusalem, and is exposed to
crime, violence, and sexual assault. Only fighting keeps him alive; fighting the city council as a
representative of homeless youth; fighting the man who sexually abused him through the court
system, fighting the radio stations to convince them to play his music. This is a child not only
fighting for life, but for self-respect and a future. This is the struggle for survival experienced
by all our homeless children – as seen through the eyes of NAF – a street kid.

NAKED
36 min. 2006 The Netherlands
Naked is a contemporary and wayward documentary/animation series in which children
between the age of ten and thirteen tell us their funny and personal stories about the changes
their bodies are going through. What does it mean to grow breasts and pubic hair? How does
it influence the way you see yourself and how do you deal with all these awkward changes?
The series takes shape in innovative and exiting form; the stories were shot on digital video
and then animated through so-called rotoscope animation, which means the video images were
traced and coloured.

NOW I’M FREE
50 min. 2006 Israel
A director arrives at a Seniors Club for elderly women (65-80) in order to establish a theatre
group. The women originally from Middle Eastern countries (Morocco, Iraq, Yemen and Iran)
had been forced into marriage at a young age (12-16 years) to much older men. They spent
their entire lives suppressed by patriarchal societies and lacked the benefit of an education.
This film documents the actual process these women undergo during their initial experience
with theatre, which allows them for the first time in their life to reveal details about their
lives which expose elements of suffering and injustice. The film also follows the director’s
experience, a man young enough to be their son who comes from an entirely different cultural
and social background which initially creates a block in their communication. It deals with the
empowerment of women by exposing their disappearing intimate world, and it salutes a group
of women who always felt marginal and who discover that they are capable of achieving more,
since now they are free.

Three octogenarian women whose art informs their identity: Margaret K. Johnson, (printmaker)
Hanna Eshel (sculptor) and Hava Mehutan (sculptor), examine the development of their artistic
vision and touch on the subject of age and its effect. Their on-camera interviews are woven
together with archival films, home movies and images of their art to tell the story of life wrapped
around art – childhood, art studies, marriage, raising a family.
We are given an insight into creative energy and vitality that is not hampered by age.

REMEMBERING THE CHILDREN
72 min. 2005-2007 Austria/France (filmed in France, Germany and Austria)
France 1942 – 1944. The deportation of more than 11,000 Jewish children to Nazi concentration
camps. Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, the well-known Nazi hunters, present new material from
detailed historical research. The two Austrian directors, Hannes Gellner and Thomas Draschan,
follow the Klarsfeld method and tell the personal stories of some of the victims so that they do
not remain anonymous numbers. Detailed interviews with six survivors who were then children
or teenagers and who only just managed to escape death at the hands of the Nazis, combine
personal fate with historical facts. Their stories highlight the involvement of the Vichy regime
in the Nazi deportation policy, and Serge Klarsfeld recalls the prominent role of Austrian Nazis
in the implementation of the “final solution” in France.

ROOM 11, ETHIOPIA HOTEL
21 min. 2006 Japan (filmed in Ethiopia)
From the window of Room 11 in the Ethiopia Hotel, you can see many children on the street
making ends meet by means of various jobs. Almost half of the children live on the street and
struggle to survive each day. The film starts with the arrival of two street children, Yohannes and
Sifalow, in Room 11. They express their happiness and suffering with respect to living on the
street, as well as their dream to leave, using improvised hip-hop and rhythm & blues. After some
discussions with the author of the documentary, they decide to start a business on the street in
order to improve their lot. The film recounts the life of street children in Gondar, Ethiopia, by
witnessing the communication and collaboration between two children and the film director in
a limited spatial setting. This limited space allows the film to focus on human communication.
This hybrid-type documentary aims to explore new trends in visual anthropology, including
the issue of dealing with intimacy and subjectivity. The entire film was shot by the author in
Room 11 at the Ethiopia Hotel.

In May, I went by myself, without knowing any word in Hungarian, to search for my roots. I visited the hometowns

The film reflects my dual attitude towards the Holocaust: my affection for the Hungarian people, from whom my

my mother and my family.

SHAMAN, THE MEDICINE OF SOUL
52 min. 2005 Spain (filmed in Cuba, Benin, Ghana and Mongolia)
Since the beginning of time, there have been men who possess special sensitivities that make
them capable of interpreting and feeling the influence of nature and the energies that surround
them. They are the Shamans, people that have the power to communicate with the ultra-sensitive
world, to see past the horizon, to learn from plants and animals, and above all to guide and
alleviate the ailments of their fellow men. This documentary invites you to learn about the
altered states of consciousness that permit the shaman to communicate with other worlds. You
will witness physical and psychic healing. You will delve into ancestral rituals with visionary
plants, such as the Yopo of the Amazon, the Sanpedro of the Andean high plateau of Peru,
or the Iboga found in the heart of Africa. You will attend voodoo ceremonies, exorcisms and
magical demonstrations. A passionate journey through the history of traditional medicine until
the present day that is both seductive and thought provoking.

SHIT AND CHICKS
10 min. 2006 The Netherlands (filmed in Ghana)
Surprisingly enough, behind the hip sounding title Shit & Chicks lurks the story of an old
Ghanaian chicken farmer who has an ingenious way of collecting feed for his chickens. This
short film is a wordless plea for organic sustainable agriculture. Each day, the old man collects
cans of cow manure in the savannah. Back on his own premises, he breaks the dry pies into
pieces and dampens the manure again. He trades the freshly filled cans with cans from the
day before that he buried around the savannah. Countless termites have collected in them,
which are a tasty and nutritious meal for the chickens. It is an age-old technique that the man
learned from his father and grandfather. But how long will this small-scale form of agriculture
be kept alive?

SINGING PICTURES: WOMEN PAINTERS OF NAYA
40 min. 2005 USA/India (filmed in India)
For generations, Patua (Chitrakar) communities of West Bengal, India have been painters and
singers of stories depicted in scrolls. In the past, they used to receive food or money for their
recital of Muslim and Hindu stories and folk myths. Unfortunately, competition from other
media significantly eroded this way of life.
In response to this cultural crisis and as a way to make extra money, a group of women from
Naya formed a scroll painters’ collaborative. They candidly discuss issues of Islam and birth
control, victimisation of women, female education, poverty and work, religious tolerance and
intolerance, and depict some of these ideas in the scrolls. Their stories attest to what it means
to be a woman in Bengal and India today, demonstrating how a small group of determined
women can empower themselves by adapting an ancient art to new conditions.

THE STUDENTS’ HAPPY LIFE IN ART SCHOOL

There are some children aged from 5 to 12 learning acrobatics at the Dalian Art School that is
closely managed. Their life there is centred on acrobatics with tears and sweat. The life of these
children in this school is totally different from the childhood of other kids.
Some of the children are beaten for imperfect experiences in training. In one way, the school
is their home and the teachers here are like their parents.
Through 6 years of hard training in the art school, only a few of them become well-known
and well-paid actors or actresses, but all of these benefits will come after six years of hard
work and studies.

THREE KINGS OF BELIZE
88 min. 2007 Canada (filmed in Belize)
In a small Central American country with a population of 270,000, three veteran musicians
share moments of their daily lives with us.
Paul Nabor, a 79 year old fisherman and legendary Garifuna composer, has played the same
guitar for 53 years. Even though he has forgotten most of his songs, his spirit remains strong.
Florencio Mess, a Maya harp player, spends his solitude making traditional violins, guitars and
harps as he awaits his next trip outside his small village. Creole accordionist Wilfred Peters is
proud to have played for the Queen of England. His ineffable charm and humour are his ideal
antidote for old age.
Each reminds us in their own way that nothing is eternal as time passes and progress settles
in. Despite the lack of interest among the younger generation, these three extraordinary men
offer us a glimpse of hope, freedom and humanity.

VORGA: A PATH OF TWO BANKS
69 min. 2006 Czech Republic (filmed in Russia)
Vorga is the Nenets’ sacred trail used by herdsmen for centuries to move reindeer across the
tundra, all the way to the shore of the Barents Sea.
Contemporary Nenets are different. They live in villages and do not want to continue nomadic
life anymore. The traditional indigenous culture has almost merged with Russian mass culture. Oil
refineries quickly take over vast areas of tundra. Parts of the sacred trail are damaged by trucks.
Fortunately, the original nomadic life at the end of Vorga still exists. Silence and peace!

WALKING PILGRIMS
73 min. 2006 Switzerland (filmed in Japan)
Over a thousand-year-old Shikoku Henro connects 88 predetermined sacred places along a 1400
kilometre long circular route on Japan’s fourth largest island, Shikoku. Based on ethnographic
survey methods, Arukihenro shows the motives, aims and desires of today’s Japanese wandering
pilgrims on a very personal level along this Buddhist pilgrimage. The documentary was shot
like a road movie during a period of nine months. The filmmakers hiked along the entire
pilgrimage, accompanying different pilgrims through long stages of their journeys. Leading
from the microcosm of this pilgrimage, Arukihenro shows profound insights into the religious
and socio-cultural background of Japanese society today.

70 min. 2006 Israel
The Beaufort Post has attained mythical status for generations of Israelis. It is the site of one
of the most controversial battles of the Israeli Army’s occupation of Southern Lebanon.
High up on this hill, above a cluster of clouds, a fortress of young soldiers lived and fought
and died.
This documentary is the story of these young men. It is a story of survival. This small group
of soldiers manned the Beaufort Post during its final months under Israeli control; they were
severely bombarded by Hezbollah forces.
Back at home in Israel, the majority of Israelis were protesting and demonstrating, demanding
that the soldiers in Southern Lebanon evacuate their posts immediately in order not to die in
vain. The Commanding Officers made it clear that the soldiers’ task was simply to remain alive
and claimed firmly that national morale could not allow itself any casualties at present. But the
soldiers, killed and wounded by missiles and mortar bombs, have remained outside the public
debate until now.

WHEN ADNAN COMES HOME
74 min. 2006 USA
At the end of 2003, a seventeen-year-old Iraqi named Adnan was arrested and put in jail. He
had stolen two metres of electrical cable, something that Iraqi law deems a crime against the
state. He was then transferred from the police station to a juvenile prison to await trial. There,
among serious criminals, fate dealt Adnan an awful blow. In an attempt to escape, a fire broke
out, and Adnan was seriously burned, especially on his face and hands. Filmmaker Andrew
Berends obtained permission to film in the prison.During the film shoot, he actually became
an intermediary between the desperate young man and his family. At first, Adnan’s father was
so angry and embarrassed about his son’s offence that he refused to go see him. In the wake of
the fire, however, compassion took the upper hand, and he and the rest of the family did their
best to help Adnan recover and come home as soon as possible. This gives rise to an intimate
portrait of daily life in an Iraqi family, in which love for each other is important, but the will

KUI ADNAN TULEB KOJU
Autor Andrew Berends
Seitsmeteistkümne-aastane Adnan varastas kaks meetrit elektrikaablit ja pandi selle eest vangi.
Iraagis karistatakse riigi vastu suunatud kuritegusid eriti rangelt. Põgenemiskatsel tekkinud
plahvatuses põletas Adnan oma näo ja käed. Haarav film noormehe, tema isa ja pereliikmete
keerulistest suhetest, mis sõltuvad koraanist ja vanadest tavadest.
WHERE IS LOVE IN THE PALM GROVE?
85 min. 2006 Belgium (filmed in Moroco)
“I’m an immigrant. I have been living in a palm grove in southern Morocco for two years,
in a grove as an island in the middle of the desert. I try to find my landmarks in that society
governed by rules so different from the one I used to know.”
This movie is about a meeting between two men: Mansour, a man from the inland country,
and myself. We both look for love. I try to understand him, to compare it to the notion I have
of it and that grew in me in my native country: Is love in the nikâh (wedding) as we say in
Belgium? Is love in the Koran as I try to understand? In the t’khlidi (tradition) that seems so
respected in the inland country? Is love in the souk (diary market) as we can see it in Brussels
at the café-terrace or would it be at the moussem (local party) where men and women meet
once a year as we do for one of our numerous popular parties? I’m looking for love and my
only reference is the one I know, the one we talk so much about in Europe.

ON ARMASTUS PEIDUS PALMISALUS?
Autor Jérôme le Maire
Sügavalt isiklik film, kus ekraaniteose autor kohtub Marokos keset kõrbe kasvavas palmisalus
elutseva ja sisemaalt pärit emigrandi Mansouriga. Mõlemad otsivad armastust, kuid erinevad
kultuuritaustad annavad armastusele täiesti isesugused tähendused.

WOMEN OF DORFAK
20 min. 2006 Iran
Dorfak is the largest crater in Iran at 2705 metres in height. It is located east of Roodbar. The
slope of the Dorfak volcano is a suitable summer quarter for people who come from humid
villages and jungles for animal husbandry. There is no spring to drink from at the top of the
mountain. Water can be obtained from ice, hidden in secret caves.
DORFAKI NAISED
Autor Mohammad Nami
2705 meetri kõrgune Dorfaki kraater on Iraani suurim vulkaan, asub see Roodbarist idas.
Dorfaki nõlvad on sobivad suviseks karjatamiseks. Kuid seal pole joogivett. Vett saab aga jääst,
mida leiab salakoobastest.

Y IN VYBORG
In 1938, young architects Ragnar and Martta Ypyä, or Y and Mirri, bought an 8 mm camera
and started filming their world in Vyborg, a Finnish town near the Soviet border. The couple’s
future seemed bright. A year later their lives had changed irreversibly. The Soviet Union attacked
Finland and the Winter War raged. Mirri fled to the countryside, Y stayed in Vyborg, where he
repaired the damages caused by the Soviet air raids. Still they kept on filming…
Y in Vyborg tells the touching story of Y and Mirri during the years 1938-1949. The entire film
is based on authentic black and white 8 mm footage.
Y VIIBURIS
Autor Pia Andell
Arhitektid Martta ja Ragnar Ypyä ostsid 1938.aastal 8mm kaamera ja hakkasid filmima igapäevaelu
Viiburis. Peagi aga ründas Nõukogude Liit Soomet ja algas Talvesõda. Amatöörkaameraga üles
võetud materjal hõlmab olulist lõiku Soome ajaloost (1938-49) ja intiimset peresuhet.

YEDIDIAH’S COLLECTION
18 min. 2006 Israel
Yedidiah`s collection is no ordinary collection. He collects spent mortar shells, bullet casings
and lighting parachutes, all evidence of the complicated reality of life in Gush Katif.
Ten-year-old Yedidiah, the tenth child in his family, lives on the Morag settlement, which is the
southern-most settlement in Gush Katif.
The film follows Yedidiah during the happy and busy day time and during the night, when the
fear of falling mortars, terrorists and the disengagement plan is intensifying. The Gaza district
evacuation changes the life of Yedidiah and his family…
Yedidiahi kollektsioon
Autorid Noam Demsky, Mordi Kershner
Film jälgib kümneaastast Yedidiahi tema tegemistes nii päeval kui öösel. Yedidiah elab keerulises
piirkonnas, kust püütakse inimesi aidata parema elu peale.

8 min
Traagiline lugu noormehest, kes hommikul leiab ennast ületamatu takistuse ees. Miks ei lasta
teda kodust lahkuda? Mis on juhtunud? Miks hakkavad toas toimuma kummalised sündmused?
Film räägib elu ja surma vahelise piiri hägususest ja selle ületamisest.
Üks Waldorfkool
Autor Tuuli Korsar
20 min
Esimesed aastad Eestis olid waldorfkoolidele väga rasked. Oli palju möödarääkimist ning
hukkamõistu. Kas nüüd suudab Eesti ühiskond rohkem respekteerida haridust, mis käsitleb
last kui tervikut?

Ajaraisk
9 min
Autor Katrin Kullasepp
Film jutustab psühholoogist, kes satub pubekate “ohvriks”. Tüdrukud on endale välja mõelnud
haigusi, mis on tegelikult täiesti tavapärased halvad harjumused ning pöörduvad psühholoogi
poole. Viimane on valiku vahel: kas tegeleda ajaraiskamisega ehk tüdrukutega või jätkata
rahatoovat tööd?
