Long Live the Scandals!
Leonhard Lapin is the classic and the enfant terrible of Estonian contemporary art, constantly followed by scandals, lewd legends and envious grumbling. Lapin confidently steps on the cornea of mediocrity, enjoying the situation to the fullest. Loved by his muses, the artist is not ashamed of his dalliances. He still has plenty at the grand old age of 70. The new Estonian film opens the doors to a disappearing Bohemianism, in which racy vocabulary reigns instead of political correctness.

Happy Farmers
Happy Farm, an organic vegetable farm, is a part of zen-buddhistic monastery called Plum Village, established by a Nobel Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh. The community of lay people started the farm on a clay ground, but thanks to their dedication (and a lot of compost), the farm is flourishing every year more and more.

This visually poetic documentary tries to present the lively atmosphere of a special place.

Dossier of Tentacular
Finnish artist Tuomas A. Laitinen’s Dossier of Tentacular is an unclassifiable, shape-shifting creature that sprawls like a cephalopod along wildly varied lines of inquiry. A network of intra-frame montage sets up formal rhymes and oblique associations between the organic and inorganic worlds, whereas, elsewhere, we stare down at a loose field of ideas animated on a notebook during an academic lecture. A dense, tantalising work exploring the mechanisms of knowledge production.

With bravery and subversive wit, they each shed light on the social problems in their country. In doing so, the film poses universal questions that ultimately concern us all: which values determine our cultural identity and in what kind of world do we want to live.

BMX Nigeria (part 1)
BMX street is one of the most frequently evolving sports in the world. Fashions come and go as pro riders flit between the contest scene and their latest video release. In Nigeria, things are a bit different. As it is around the globe, riding bikes can be about breaking down walls and allowing an ever-growing group of riders to connect and feed off each other's inspirations and influences.
