“Living images [Elavad pildid], 2013” Thursday, 13 March 2014, 17:30, FEASS, A130
Abstract: Living Images is a historical melodrama that takes us through the 20th
century by telling the stories of two Estonians, Helmi and Julius. The film
begins with their birth in the beginning of the century, in a house
belonging to Baltic Germans in Tallinn, and ends in the end of the century
when Estonia has restored its independence and on the backdrop of the
arrival of neo-capitalist values. It is a grotesque approach on the
difficult turns in Estonian, as well as European history and involves a good
dose of both humour and tragedy.
