Closing event of the exhibition My Home │screenings of films by Eleonore de Montesquiou and Diana Tamane
The darkest part of the year is now behind us. As the days grow brighter, the dark, minimalist, cozy, and warm My Home, Our City exhibition at the Lasnamäe Pavilion – designed with the preceding gloom in mind – also draws to a close. On Saturday, 11 January, the penultimate day of the exhibition, there will be a final curator’s tour, followed by screenings of films by Eleonore de Montesquiou and Diana Tamane in the cinema hall of the Lindakivi Cultural Centre, next to the pavilion
Schedule
17:00 Eleonore de Montesquiou’s film My House Is My Country
17:50 Diana Tamane’s film Under the Same Sky
Eleonore de Montesquiou’s 2001 film My House Is My Country presents stories of homes in Tallinn. Through the voices of women of different nationalities and ages, the film reveals narratives tied to specific places, sharing people’s dreams and everyday struggles. In the early 2000s, the memory of privatisation was still fresh. The history of homes and the actions associated with them vividly reflect recent major societal changes. People and political systems come and go, but houses remain in place.
The film runs for 38 minutes and is in Estonian and French with English subtitles.
Diana Tamane’s 2022 debut feature-length documentary Under the Same Sky portrays three generations of women: grandmother Tamara, born in Ukraine; mother Irina, born in Latvia; and daughter Sonya, who grew up in Spain. For nearly twenty years, they have lived in the tourist town of Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol in Spain. Between them, they have experienced life in the Soviet Union as well as in a globalised, market-driven Europe, making them a vivid example of the multicultural family dynamics created by geopolitical history.
The film runs for 55 minutes and is in Russian with Estonian subtitles.
