Estonia may not be world-renowned for its cinema, but with bangers like these, I think it should be (and yeah, I'm a little biased).

Here's four fantastic Estonian films to watch this summer, on HEIA:

Frankenstein movies are about men experiencing childbirth. Werewolf movies are about men experiencing periods. And Dracula movies are about men being lesbians. No I won’t elaborate.

Howl’s Moving Castle. He’s hired a budget van and packed trinkets into cardboard boxes with glassware and ceramic plates. The men he hired can’t figure out how to get up to the entrance. It’s not going well.

This month, make sure you know the difference between Midsumma and Midsommar. At one, a bear might end up in you. At the other, you end up in a bear. Know before you go.

There's a reason why every fascist movement tries to destroy artists (this time it's via the enshittification via AI slop).

Art and creation are the opposite of hate and destruction. Art reminds us of our joy, our individuality, our history. Art always has value, but especially now.
It feels so dumb being an artist right now, especially when I don't make anything super meaningful. I love what I do, it keeps me sane, and pays my bills. But like people are out there getting terrorized and I'm here like buy my trinkets, cause... they're pretty 🫤

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

This year I highly recommend reverse resolutions: don’t make any, but when you accomplish something cool say ‘that was my resolution for 2026!’. Think smarter, not harder.

It’s over 40 degrees. Our AC requires windows to be open to work. I am also having one of the worst Hayfever attacks of my life, which gets worse when windows are open.

Any ideas for solving this conundrum?

In school I wrote & choreo’d moves to a song called ‘TEACHERS R WATCHING U’ but was annoyed that my dancers (friends) weren’t doing it ‘scared’ enough, which really tells you all you need to know about me
