Screening at Kai Cinema: short film collection "Fire Beneath the Ashes"

Friday 10. April at 18:00 - 19:24

Kai Art Center, Tallinn

Genre: short films, Estonian filmmakers

Duration: 1h 24min

“Fire Beneath the Ashes” is a collection of short films that spends an evening in a cheap hotel, walks to and from work in a small town weighed down by everyday worries, strips itself bare in a traditional Vana-Võromaa smoke sauna, casts light on the darker side of family relationships in an Indian slum, and finally listens to pounding radio beats in a 19th‑century farmhouse. Vividly distinctive settings and diverse stories find common ground in a shared tangle of emotions. A moldy loaf of bread may set a story in motion, or being left naked together, or a camera found at the dump — yet the constant thread is the heartache we all bravely, and stubbornly, carry.
