New Waves, New Spaces: Estonian Experimental Cinema of the 1970s

Summary/Abstract: The article concentrates on the films of Jaan Tooming, a rebellious Estonian auteur whose cinematic oeuvre of the 1970s was typically geared towards undermining the powers that be. His experimental films, especially the infamously banned Endless Day (1971/1990), favour Lefebvrian differential space over the abstract space of mainstream cinema, radically renewing the visual and narrative form of Estonian cinema and offering shifting registers of spatio-social portrayals and critiques of the Soviet ideological apparatus.
