KARP

Director: Keiti Väliste

Language: estonian

Subtitles: english

The film will be introduced by director Keiti Väliste.

When we think of Tallinn’s Linnahall, the National Library of Estonia, the Post Office building, and nearly 300 other structures designed by Raine Karp, it seems remarkable that the creator of these iconic landmarks does not consider himself an artist at all — but first and foremost an engineer. He doesn’t make art; he solves problems. He works alone and has no cultural life to speak of. He has visited Linnahall itself only a couple of times. This portrait documentary moves between present and past, drawing on Raine’s own richly personal archive of photographs and footage, with cultural and architectural experts Karen Jagodin, Miia Masso, Mait Väljas and Tiit Nurklik offering fresh perspectives.
