Endless Day
Jaan Tooming, Virve Aruoja / Estonia / 1971 / Czech Premiere / 30 min.
synopsis
This playful comedy about one adventurous day in Estonia in the 1970s startled the censorship authorities to such an extent with its spontaneity and original cinematic language that they not only banned the film, but ordered its complete destruction. The film was successfully hidden from the “threat of the regime” and after 1990 it was released to the world.
biography
