PETS AND BERLIN (2018)
Director: Taavi Arus
Original title: Pets ja Berliin
Documentary
Duration 33' /with English subtitles
Bowie, who lived in Berlin in the seventies, describes his life in
Berlin as “moving around in virtual anonymity... For some reason,
Berliners just don't care.” Peeter "Pets" and Berlin are partners that
support one another. Peeter says that there are a lot of people like him
in Berlin: “This place attracts people like me because you can be your
true self. Berlin doesn't judge you for who you are. Berlin accepts you
the way you are. You don't see this in a lot of other cities. You won't
see such attitude in Estonia!” Without a doubt, Berlin is Peeter's home
and Peeter is a part of Berlin. Peeter is still active in a band. “If
you are a punk-rocker, you are always in a band. Even if only in your
thoughts.” Pets has created new songs and he wants to record them. Every
once in a while he goes to Estonia to record some songs with his friends
from legendary band Nyrok City
<https://www.facebook.com/Nyrok-City-116236045092720/>. Lately, it
happens less often but that only makes those encounters even more
heartwarming. Old friends never lack conversation topics, because urban
chameleon and city mystic Peeter, as friends describe him, has always a
plenty of stories to tell. About life and Berlin and of course about
life in Berlin.
It is a story about a man's survival in the city, which offers him
almost motherly care. It is a story about loneliness, struggle, and
freedom. It's a poem about Pets and Berlin.
MORE THAN LIFE (2018)
Director: Indrek Spungin | Taavi Arus
Original title: ENAM KUI ELU <https://www.facebook.com/enamkuielu/>
Documentary
Duration 73'/with English subtitles
Freddy Grenzmann is the last Estonian rockstar. He is a poet and singer
in the punk-rock band Psychoterror
<https://www.facebook.com/psychoterror.bank.rock/>. The term rockstar
stands for a phenomenon that is outside the norms of tradition and is
larger than life. What can be said about Freddy is that he is not normal
neither on stage nor in life. The energy that flows through his veins
has not enough room in his body.
His creation and life are the same. He seems to be someone with
everything always at stake. He seems to be constantly walking on the
edge. What makes Freddy interesting is not social or textual love for
the game, but the quantity he has put into the game, the probability of
losing oneself totally and the depth of indicative humane or
metaphysical anguish.
This is a story about the last rockstar and poet, his work and anatomy
of a punk band.
