Theodor Lutsu filmipäevad

Eesti filmilooja ja -produtsendi Theodor Lutsu (1896–1980) sünnipaigas Palamusel on sel nädalalõpul, 12.–13. augustini taas filmipäevad.

Eesti filmimehe 100. sünnipäeva-aastal, 1996 alguse saanud traditsioon jätkub. Tänavuste filmipäevade programmis on fookuses Eesti filmiüliõpilaste tööd ja tegemised ning Soome-Eesti filmisild. Eestikeelne filmiharidus sai Eestis alguse aastal 1992, Soome-Eesti filmikoostöö alguseks võib lugeda aastat 1932, mil valmis Theodor Lutsu helimängufilm “Päikese lapsed”.

Programmis on valik tänavu kevadel filmikooli lõpetanute diplomitöödest. Pühapäeval vaadatakse ka just sel nädalalõpul Palamusel valminud tudengite värskeid filmietüüde. Soome 100 ja Eesti 100 programmis on Palamusel pühapäeval kaks filmi - 1938. aastal eestlannast soome näitekirjaniku Hella Wuolijoki draama ainetel lavastatud mängufilm “Niskamäe naised” ning samuti “Päikese lapsed”. Publikuga tuleb kohtuma animafilmilooja Riho Unt, vaadatakse tema filme, alates 1997. aastal valminud Saamuel Pliuhkami loost “Tagasi Euroopasse” kuni rikkalikult auhinnatud värskeima teoseni “Isand”. Tagasivaateprogrammis on ekraanil Kaljo Kiisa suvine katastroofifilm “Keskpäevane praam” (1967) Ada Lundveriga peaosas.

Merefilmide festival 15.-17. juunini

Tere filmisõber,

15. - 17. juulini toimub sellel aastal Tallinna Merepäevade raames Merefilmide festival. Filme on igale vanusele ja maitsele ning mitmes saalis ja laval korraga. Merepäevasid külastab aasta aastalt enam kui 130 000 inimest.

Kandideeri oma filmiga sobivas kategoorias ja tee end nähtavaks!

Oma filme saab registreerida kuni 25. maini 2016 täites alloleva vormi. Film tuleb laadida pilvesse ning vormi lisada filmifaili sisaldava kausta link või see tuua Tallinna Kultuuriameti aadressile. Meretemaatilisus lisab omalt poolt vürtsi, aga see pole millekski kohustav ega kuidagi filmivalikut piirav.

Registreerimise vorm asub siin:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KLl29rG19AOS4f4YveS_aBiG0aGnoYP_07AvMUS77BM/viewform

Kategooriad:
Noorte- ja lühifilmid - ootame nii erinevate pikkustega noortefilme, kui ka erinevates žanrites lühifilme. (Tegijate vanus ega tootjafirma pädevus ei mängi rolli - hinnatakse filmi.)
Laste- ja nukufilmid - erinevates pikkustes lastefilmid, nukufilmid, joonisfilmid ja animatsioonid.
Loodus- ja ajaloolised dokumentaalfilmid - ootame meretemaatilisi dokumentaale, kui ka kõike muud. Dokumentaalfilmid võivad pajatada eluolust, laevadest, spordialadest, mereelustikust, lindudest, ilmast, sõjast, Eestist kui ka välismaast.
Mängufilmid - kui omalt poolt loodud mängufilm eelnevatesse loenditesse ei sobitunud, siis ka täispikad mängufilmid, mis oma sisult, olemuselt on küpsed ja žüriile huvipakkuvad leiavad tee filmifestivali kavasse.

Välja valitud filmid selguvad hiljemalt 10.juuniks, millest teavitatakse veebilehel tallinnamerepaevad.ee ning saadetakse kõigile osalejatele ka vastav e-mail. Parimatele on Canon välja pannud hulgaliselt auhindu, et filmide tegemine saaks veelgi parema hoo sisse. Iga film on loodud puudutamaks kedagi - kandideeri ja aitame need inimesed üles leida!

Sadho also has material exchange partnerships with other important organizations and festivals that focus on this genre of films in other parts of the world, and is always looking for new collaborations.
The screening of the travel festival will begin soon.

 

TYPE OF FILMS
We showcase films, that broadly fall into following categories:
Poetry Films – based on or inspired by a poem. Most of the films in the festival are of this genre.
Poetic Films – Films that are highly poetic in their cinematic construction. We include some of the finest of this vast and varied genre in our festival.
Poetry Discourse Films – Films that engage in a debate about the image, the world and life.
Student Poetry Films - Films on poetry made by students as a part of their curriculum or independantly.
