The Class: Life AfterEstonia The aftermath of a mass killing at school

Cast Laine Mägi, Liina Joonas and Imre Paabo Country Estonia Genre Drama Year 2010 ORIGINAL TITLE Klass, Elu pärast

Everybody has a breaking point. When bullied, some people fight back. Others run away. A few, however, bottle up their anger and resentment until it explodes. That was the fate of two high school students by the names of Joseph and Kaspar. Fed up with the constant torment and bullying, they struck back, bringing apocalyptic violence to the halls of their school.

The Class: Life After deals with the grim aftermath of a tragedy. In Tailing, the Capital of Estonia, a community was shaken to its core by the senseless violence of one fateful day. This film explores the hard truths of the shooting, revealing both the depths of human depravity, and also the immense tenderness that we can be capable of when all else is lost. Each episode reveals a new perspective as the victims struggle to make sense of the violence, figure out who’s to blame, or just try to rebuild their shattered lives.

Nobody was left unscathed by these two shooters. Schoolmates, friends, families, teachers, and even the police must each work their way through the questions left in the wake of such an atrocity. As the community struggles with its grief, more and more secrets about the town come to the light and the dark story behind the violence is slowly revealed.

Episode 1 Kerli (Triin Tenso) was just leaving the school canteen when the shooting started. Two of her classmates came in, each wielding a small arsenal of guns: She was the only one allowed to leave before they began their massacre. In the aftermath, when she hears that the police are looking for her, Kerli runs off to stay at her grandmother’s farm, until her grandmother encourages her to go back and sort her life out. She convinces the police that she had nothing to do with the shooting. They believe her, but back at school her problems are just beginning: the classmates who saw her get out believe she was in on the shooting. Those same people who point the finger at Kerli, meanwhile, refuse to own up to all of the times that they tormented the boys, especially that fateful night at the beach just before the shooting.

EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | APRIL 2012 | 9 ESTONIAN FESTIVAL Animated Cinema in Estonia

This tiny republic on the shores of the Baltic sea boasts a population of about 1.5 million inhabitants. Estonia is known for its quiet landscapes, its natural beauty, and a legendary collection of animated films.

Estonia’s foray into animation began in the 1930s, 27 years before the founding of its first official studio, Nukufilm. “Nuku”, the Estonian word for “puppet” was a fitting title for the little studio, which began by working mostly with puppets. They joined up with the studio Joonisfilm, bringing new life to the burgeoning art of animation.

When the Soviet Empire collapsed, the ensuing economic fallout sounded the death-knell for several studios. The only studios to survive the collapse were Nukufilm and Joonisfilm, both of which were taken over by their staff of animator. Since 1991, the Estonian cartoon industry has flourished.

From this golden age of animation came Priit Parn, Estonia’s most renowned director. His early works, “Hotel E” and “Night of the Carrots” are absurdist masterpieces, highlighting the contradictory nature of life as a Soviet citizen. In 2006, Parn founded the Tallinn Animation School, bringing his unique vision and creative freedom to new animators from all over the world.

However, Pritt Parn is not the only talented director of animation in Estonia; Ulo Pikkov has enjoyed international acclaim for animated works such as «Bermuda»(1999) about the stormy relationship between a mermaid and a sailor, and “The Headless Horseman” (Peafa Ratsanik, 2001), a delightfully strange yet charming tale. Priit Tender’s “Gravitation” (Gravitatsioon, 1996), «Viola» (1999) and «Mont Blanc» (2001) won several international awards while Kasper Jancis’ «Weitzenberg Street” (Weitzenbergi tànav, 2002), received good reviews and public reaction.

Joonisfilm presented “Frank & Wendy” (Frank ja Wendy) in 2005 at the Annecy Festival, a movie directed by Priit Tender, Kaspar Jancis and Ulo Pikkov which was inspired from a series written by Priit Parn.

The current success of animated films from Estonia shows us that, just like in cartoons, with ingenuity, courage and perseverance, anything is possible.

26 | EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | APRIL 2012 Kings of Spain Spain

Discover the secrets behind the throne of Spain

When Goethe was asked his views on the Spanish, he said, “Oh, yes, those people who wanted to be more than they could be.” Spain’s history is fraught with incredible achievements, but also with devastating failures. In Kings of Spain, we journey through time to meet the kings of the world’s most powerful empire.

Kings of Spain is the first documentary series that unveils the fascinating secret lives of the seventeen kings who ruled Spain from its unification by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492 to the arrival of the Second Republic in 1931. This is more than just the story of a royal family: it is the story of a nation.

The history of Spain is made of lights and shadows, of dizzying highs and abyssal lows. Kings of Spain is the history of an empire so massive that the sun never set on its territories. Watch as Spain battles for dominance in America, wrestles for its soul between religious wars, and delves deep into heresy with the mysteries of the infamous Spanish Inquisition.

Episode 1: Catholic Kings This first part of the collection addresses the history of Spain from the unification of the kingdoms of the Iberia Peninsula by the Catholic Monarchs, until the end of the Austrians dynasty. The Austrians, also called the Habsburg dynasty, reigned over Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries, from the recognition of Philip I «The Beautiful» as sovereign consort of Castile in 1506, to the death without succession of Charles II «The Bewitched», in 1700. PREMIERE 4/16 at 9:00 PM

Episode 2: Joanna the Mad & Philip the Handsome This episode goes through the very particular story of Juana la Loca –or the mad- and Philip the Fair. Heir to an empire that began to form, she was a beautiful, educated, intelligent and apparently also gifted for music woman. Juana of Aragon and Castile, the second daughter of the Catholic Kings of Spain, made history with the cruel nickname she was given: “Mad Love.” The nickname was given after unsociable acts such as grieving on her husband’s corpse for 19 years.

PREMIERE 4/23 at 9:00 PM Episode 3: Charles V In the late fifteenth century, Europe experienced a time of change and euphoria. France and England were beginning to overcome the ravages of the Hundred Years War that pitted the houses of York and Lancaster. Italy began to flourish in a cultural movement that no longer have any comparison for centuries to come: The Renaissance.
