Estonian documentaries at Millennium International Film Festival

Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:54:09 GMT

Estonian dosc will be screened at Millennium 5th June „Colours of the Islands“ by Madli Lääne and 8th June Estonian docs „The New World“ by Jaan Tootsen.

Since its creation in 2009, the Millenium Festival flows its purpose to present documentary movies that question, that participate in our lives, that makes us discover other people in their complexity and distinct beauty. The program of the 5th edition of the festival unveil a very contemporary topic, which is " All for SALE". We are more and more exposed to messages and pictures that transform everything into a "product" - our body, our wishes, our sensitivity, our emotions, our fears and even our ideals…

„The New world“ - A new world needs new heroes. How to make a car-free oasis in the heart of the capital? How to create a city space that you can call home? This film is about the New World Society, a citizens’ initiative in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia. They have enough confidence and strength to fight for a new, better world. We observe the fight and fame of New World Society, a citizens’ initiative in Tallinn but also growing tensions between the main activists of this group during four years. What happens when at one point one realizes that the world around him has hopelessly changed. When looking into the mirror, he sees a tired hippie alone in his fight... How to find the lost New World.

„Colours of the Islands“ -Three vivid musicians, three different islands, one project – how would one visualize the fairytale world of sounds? Eivør Palsdottir is a 26-year-old Nordic beauty with a mass of blond hair, who shakes up the concert venues with her wild and primordial vocals. Bird, 50 years her senior, is a black singer, who strings his ukulele in the spirit of aloha on an ocean shore. Saxophonist and composer Villu Veski, whose fantasy knows no limits, is like a crashing point between the two. Colours of Islands is the meeting point of three talented musicians (Villu, Eivør and Bird) from three different islands (Muhu in Estonia, Faeroe and Hawaii). All three of them get inspiration from the wonderful scenery and ancient traditions of their native islands.
