Heart's Calling

The VOICE OF THE HEART session has collected the soul and self-fulfillment searches of young filmmakers and journeys through the mental health maze that many face today. SCHOOL FILM is a film festival where young student filmmakers can show their films, participate in exciting master classes in the film industry, meet professional filmmakers and gather new ideas by communicating with other filmmakers. “Something beautiful” - Anton Zakharov Rita, a cheerful and energetic girl, arrives at a new school full of introverts. His sincerity and extroversion do not resonate with his new classmates, and he feels lonely and vulnerable. Fate brings her together with Carlos - a closed guitarist who dreams of writing a song for a school festival. "Disappeared" - Marleen Leemets, Liisbet Vilu, Eliisabeth Sankovski More and more of today's young people are lost in the smart world, but the real world no longer plays an important role in life. What happens when you start to disappear physically? No one notices what happens online and what is obvious. Two teenage girls start looking for their strangely missing friend. The girls are worried, but no one else seems interested. A crazy search leads the girl into a dangerous situation that no one has ever come out of before. "Inner melody" - Kirke Kask Jete's biggest wish is to dance, but only one person stands in front of his dream - his mother. "Inner Melody" is inspired by the quote "Children are not coloring books, we can't color them with our favorite colors." But what if a mother wants to paint her daughter with her favorite colors? "Ciconia Ciconia" - Liisa Ojaviir, Kaire Rummel Karl and Sebastian's life paths are separated quite early due to a harsh twist of fate. However, the older brother Sebastian survives the loss of his little brother particularly harshly, and its influence remains with him even in his late teens. The viewer can observe this stage of life and Sebastian's inner world more closely in the film. But the film is not just a story about the suffering of a teenager - it also has philosophical lines about the complexity of the human psyche. "Elixir of Life" - Argo Kirss, Illimar Kirss, Laur Erik Laine, Jarno Mononen The short film "Elixir of Life" is a historical drama genre. The action of the film takes place in the middle ages and it is centered around three friends who have been going to entertain themselves by playing gambling together every month. On one of the next occasions, when one of the friends, the earliest, arrives at the match with a terminal illness, the bonds of friendship are put to the test. Will greed win or justice and caring…..or what is victory at all? "Move of the mind" - Mathilda Mänd Florence's life lacks positive feelings and she goes through the same day over and over again working in the budget department of a large company and selling paintings on the street. One day her neighbor Emmanuell appears, whose words play an important role in Florence's life. The aim of the film is to show that people's kind words can help others better fight their difficulties. "Dobbetliv" - Angelina Lærke Tordenskjold - “The Showstopper” - Alexander Salomon A theatrical performance goes awry when two lovers, Alice and Wyatt, go off script and start arguing about their complicated relationship on stage.
