‘New Estonian cinema’ is a monthly series of film evenings focused on recent Estonian cinema.
The series focuses mainly on the best Estonian comedy and drama films, but also features award-winning documentaries and artistic short films (BFM).
The film evenings aim to introduce contemporary Estonian films and promote listening, reading, and discussion skills. The screenings are preceded and followed by a free-form discussion where participants share their thoughts; more complex (including colloquial) expressions found in the films and the background of the films are also discussed before the screening. Each occasion also provides a specific information or worksheet.
Estonian movies are part of our cultural sphere and the film evenings at the Estonian Language House in Narva are an excellent opportunity to navigate better in this field.
We have chosen Soo (Swamp), a feature film based on a story of the same name by Oskar Luts, as the opening film of the season. This thrilling period film takes us back to 1917 and weaves a tale of both love and suspense with a unique atmosphere. In addition to the outstanding Estonian actors (Franz Malmsten, Liis Remmel, Grete Kuld, and others) and the screenplay, the score of the film, composed by the talented Mick Pedaja, is also worth noting.
