Initiative to collect films showcasing the lives of Estonian communities abroad

Take part in the initiative to collect films showcasing the lives of Estonian communities abroad!
 

The initiative takes place in cooperation with ETV2 and its purpose is to produce new episodes of the show 8 mm ELU (LIFE on 8 mm) and update our museum collection with films depicting the lives of Estonian communities abroad. We are collecting materials recorded on 8 mm and Super8 film.

The series 8 mm ELU (LIFE on 8 mm) has successfully aired on Estonian Public Broadcasting channels and gained significant views. The first two seasons focussed on films recorded by local Estonians. Now, the show makers want viewers to see the stories of Estonian communities abroad.

To take part in the collection initiative, fill in the form below. All those in possession of 8 mm films will be contacted. Selected pieces will also be shown in the television series 8 mm ELU (LIFE on 8 mm) and stored in our museum collections if possible.
