Positivus

Estonian pop music enjoys good times at the moment. Here and there interesting acts pop up almost daily and global scope of our artists is growing exponentially. Over three years the filmmakers of Positivus have followed stage careers of musicians of different styles and as a result, they have captured somewhat family portrait of the current era. On one side the film gives an almost encyclopaedic overview of who’s who in Estonian pop music of the 2000s. Yet, on the other hand, the acts and choices of film characters reveal the general feeling of our times - a cult of success, opportunism and vanity. The genre of the film isn’t pretentious critical real-ism, but rather a musical comedy. (Estonian Film Institute)
