[00:01:15] PÖFF film festival begins. How mother and
[00:01:19] daughter Tiina and Triin run it, we'll
[00:01:21] see that right away.
[00:01:26] PÖFF's new artistic director Triin Tramberg has, despite her young
[00:01:29] age, been involved with the 30-year-old festival
[00:01:33] since the beginning. What are your first PÖFF memories?
[00:01:36] Probably somewhere under these tables, Sakala Center,
[00:01:40] Sakala Center is still
[00:01:43] that massive building and being
[00:01:46] there, that's my main memory, the cinema
[00:01:49] house, of course, but I
[00:01:52] actually started working on film right after PÖFF, so I still
[00:01:56] spent most of my
[00:02:00] childhood at the puppet theater, when there was a film there, and
[00:02:03] I watched all the films like that, that I came straight from school
[00:02:07] to the puppet theater and watched, I think, all the screenings,
[00:02:11] I assume, this is not very
[00:02:13] surprising, because Riin's mother is the creator and soul of PÖFF, Tiina
[00:02:17] Lokk. I just remember that, I should even have a photo where she
[00:02:21] was either six years old or something like that, where she
[00:02:25] slept on the table when we
[00:02:28] were organizing the festival. It was still exciting
[00:02:31] and I still liked all the
[00:02:35] hustle and bustle and the energy and the novelty and all those
[00:02:38] people. Triin has held several
[00:02:41] positions at PÖFF, starting as a program coordinator
[00:02:45] assistant while still at university. After that, she has worked
[00:02:49] both on the festival's film industry side and coordinating competition programs. Now
[00:02:53] she is the artistic director, a role previously held by her mother Tiina,
[00:02:57] in addition to her director position. Did you have to persuade Triin as well? "Or
[00:03:00] did you ask if she was willing, and she immediately said yes? No, I didn't have to persuade her
[00:03:04] because she had also reached a point where she felt
[00:03:07] that she had been doing this PÖFF for 15 years
[00:03:11] and all those sections that
[00:03:14] she had built up and managed, she had also been doing them for quite
[00:03:18] some time. When I made her the offer, she
[00:03:21] thought about it for only a couple of days, or I don't know if she thought about it at all, I don't even remember that,
[00:03:25] but that it was an interesting challenge for her and I think she's
[00:03:29] ready for it.
[00:03:33] But what advice has her mother given her for her new job?
[00:03:36] Is there? In my opinion, we haven't I haven't given any, no, I think
[00:03:39] I gave one piece of advice: run this year as you run and then
[00:03:43] start thinking about what you'll really do new, so that it's like usual, that
[00:03:47] you first need to get used to it, but I've already done that, but I actually
[00:03:51] it's in my nature that I'm not really someone who
[00:03:54] immediately so brave and bold is still
[00:03:58] her characteristic, she is... definitely much better
[00:04:01] than me, she is calmer, I'm
[00:04:05] still like that, I don't know where that temperament comes from, so I've had
[00:04:08] quite a hard time in life with that,
[00:04:12] but Triin is much calmer, which is
[00:04:15] definitely much better when working with the festival
[00:04:18] team and the program team, I
[00:04:22] think, I don't know what I myself hope and
[00:04:26] would like is that, you see, the program is also such that...
[00:04:31] "There has to be a lot of fresh blood in between, so she brings
[00:04:34] her own generation to it, her own generation's
[00:04:37] vision and a completely different one, maybe it doesn't have to be
[00:04:40] a completely different vision, because at the end of the day, well, a good film is still
[00:04:44] a good film, right, but I definitely started
[00:04:48] feeling somewhere that I'm already like an old turtle chasing
[00:04:51] my Antonionis and Fellinis, well,
[00:04:54] figuratively speaking, but Triin has a broader
[00:04:58] view here and..." "Maybe also a better
[00:05:01] connection with what the audience wants,
[00:05:04] so I have always said that I would be an ideal
[00:05:08] program creator for critics, that
[00:05:10] Triin could offer a job, "exactly, we can talk
[00:05:14] about that. Now, according to Triin, the tasks are divided so that she deals
[00:05:18] with the program, but Tiina continues with finances, strategy and
[00:05:22] general organization management.
[00:05:25] Triin, what are the qualities you have admired most in your mother
[00:05:28] over the years, or like, is there something
[00:05:32] you think, if only I had that, it would
[00:05:35] be easier? Mm, actually
[00:05:38] seeing the big picture is still..."
[00:05:43] Inspiration, seeing things and seeing,
[00:05:46] not, I think that's what she has taught me, that don't
[00:05:50] just look at next year, but always look five years ahead,
[00:05:53] and one main
[00:05:56] lesson is also that, that
[00:06:00] don't just break things, because
[00:06:03] breaking is easy, but building up is hard, yes, that,
[00:06:07] yes. Great, can you be
[00:06:11] like that, that PÖFF doesn't come up at all?
[00:06:14] Yes, and it's very easy for us in that
[00:06:18] respect, again, I have these boundaries and for example, last
[00:06:21] year she came I always go on vacation with my daughter
[00:06:25] in April and she came along and then I told her that the condition is that we don't
[00:06:28] talk about PÖFF at all and we didn't. There is room for
[00:06:32] development, according to the mother and daughter, at the anniversary-themed PÖFF,
[00:06:35] there are certainly dreams to be fulfilled. I
[00:06:38] would like to hope that this decade will still see
[00:06:42] the dream come true, that a part of the city hall will also be
[00:06:45] PÖFF's cinema, where we
[00:06:48] could present our competition films
[00:06:52] in a worthy environment, so that's one
[00:06:56] thing, which doesn't mean that we will all stay in this Rotermann
[00:06:59] Quarter and preserve all its charm and our
[00:07:03] Apollo Plaza is definitely our part, because it's in an ideal
[00:07:06] location, but unfortunately, let's say that what's happening
[00:07:10] in front of Alpha right now, we have to hold our
[00:07:12] breath, that we don't get international
[00:07:16] prescriptions from somewhere, that we still
[00:07:20] go up the hill through the Beldik stairs,
[00:07:23] where no, it was a kind of escape stairs that she went down and then
[00:07:27] it's dark and then ah, the door opens,
[00:07:31] today, you're in front of the picture and then from there it's already
[00:07:34] a photo wall, so I believe that of course such wonderful
[00:07:38] experiences, but you can't ride on that for long, something
[00:07:41] very big must come from there. If we get our own cinema,
[00:07:45] then it's definitely possible that our festival
[00:07:49] will take a significantly bigger leap forward. With this festival,
[00:07:52] it's always that you do the festival and only
[00:07:56] then you know how to do it better, and I think that's also the reason why
[00:07:59] I've been doing this for so long, that every time you
[00:08:03] finish, you get that feeling that oh, but you could actually do this better,
[00:08:06] you don't want to give it up right away, because you know how to do it
[00:08:10] better, so some things... "And of course you also give up some things,
[00:08:14] but that's the circle I'm
[00:08:17] in.
[00:11:35] land in Estonia has been re- evaluated.
[00:11:38] We will definitely talk about this, as the technology sector in both Estonia and the world has been hit by
[00:11:42] a wave of layoffs. Companies increasingly justify changes with
[00:11:45] artificial intelligence. For years, we have talked here in Estonia about
[00:11:49] a shortage of programmers. Will we soon see that there may be too many of
[00:11:52] them? Estonia's oldest..." also fits
[00:11:55] into the show, see you
[00:11:57] at nine.
[00:12:01] Well then, for the end of our show, one more piece, namely,
[00:12:05] yesterday there was an Estonian song event, where
[00:12:08] for the first time all the finalists performed
[00:12:11] for the fans, and by the way, at the same time a limited
[00:12:15] number of fan
[00:12:17] tickets went on sale for the fan zone in front of the
[00:12:21] stage of the final concert, and they can still be bought now. And we remind you of
[00:12:25] one thing. The grand final concert of Eesti Laul will take place on
[00:12:28] January 30th at the Unibet
[00:16:59] but it will definitely rain this week too, and if it goes particularly smoothly,
[00:17:03] we might even get some sleet here in the first half of the week, not everywhere, not
[00:17:07] everywhere, but in Eastern Estonia and somewhere else here tomorrow,
[00:17:10] I guess it was, tomorrow it might even sleet, but today is
[00:17:14] November 2nd, as we started, and it's All Souls' Day,
[00:17:18] so this morning we have a reason to look a little at that old
[00:17:22] belief and custom in such a way, what to do or how to understand
[00:17:26] that those souls have indeed visited home, what did Estonians
[00:17:29] think and believe, what were the signs to pay attention to,
[00:17:32] for example. It's very important to talk about that too, and to remind
[00:17:36] of it, I think so. Artificial intelligence increases productivity, well,
[00:17:40] probably yes, in many companies, but one
[00:17:43] study shows that this productivity is not reflected
[00:17:46] in financial results, wealth still doesn't come easily, wealth doesn't come, why is that
[00:17:50] and a little bit about whether the role of
[00:17:54] employees, their valuing, their evaluation systems, should
[00:17:58] all be re-evaluated in a situation where artificial intelligence
[00:18:01] does a large part of the work and naturally we will also talk a little about last week's big
[00:18:05] news, which concerned large layoffs in various companies,
[00:18:09] how it is related to that, even in one unicorn, even
[00:18:49] important week has begun, namely the midterm election week, and this usually
[00:18:52] happens so that if the president's term is four years,
[00:18:56] then when two years have passed exactly and two years are still ahead, then the
[00:19:00] midterm elections take place and the composition of
[00:19:03] Congress may change depending on who
[00:19:06] people plan to vote for, what kind of people they
[00:19:10] like, whether they prefer Democrats or Republicans. This
[00:19:14] morning we will talk about all this here on Terevisioon and Lauri
[00:19:17] Almann has already taken a seat in the studio, good morning to you, good morning, but
[00:19:21] before that, once again we have the opportunity to talk
[00:19:24] to Marian Rohemägi, our own journalist, who is in the United
[00:19:28] States, well, good morning from our side to
[00:19:31] you too. Good morning to
[00:19:34] all of you, well please, tell me how
[00:19:38] vigorously campaigns are being run, what people are being tempted with,
[00:19:41] what they are being offered, are there also such big disputes, contradictions
[00:19:45] to be seen, discussions?
[00:19:48] The campaign is in full swing as always and all the way
[00:19:52] to the end, and of course
[00:19:55] both Democrats and Republicans' biggest
[00:19:59] fish and biggest names
[00:20:02] have in recent weeks held such big
[00:20:05] campaign events, for example, former president
[00:20:09] Barack Obama was in Georgia state last week. President Donald Trump
[00:20:13] delivered a speech just a few hours ago
[00:20:16] in Iowa state. But there are also such
[00:20:19] smaller community campaigns, so it must
[00:20:23] be remembered that it was also Halloween week, so
[00:20:26] parties held such Halloween
[00:20:29] events. They hold fairs,
[00:20:33] they hold door-to-door campaigns and then they still
[00:20:36] try to tempt their
[00:20:39] voters by sending them various text messages,
[00:20:42] sending letters, making social media posts,
[00:20:46] so absolutely everything that comes to mind, everything is being done.
[00:20:50] Does this also mean that security and transparency
[00:20:54] are being looked at with a sharper eye, because
[00:20:57] well, the possibility of early voting by mail is already
[00:21:01] an option for a long time,
[00:21:03] that's true, yes, but it also depends on who you talk to,
[00:21:07] meaning what is important to them or
[00:21:10] what strikes them about the transparency of
[00:21:14] these elections, that for
[00:21:17] Republicans, the concern is that they fear that
[00:21:21] those who should not vote will be able to vote,
[00:21:24] and therefore various states have
[00:21:28] been asked for example for voter lists,
[00:21:31] lawsuits have also been filed, for example in California state there has been
[00:21:35] quite a sharp dispute, and
[00:21:38] the Alaska incident has
[00:21:41] added fuel to the fire, that is, the Lisa
[00:21:45] Murkowski case, where the
[00:21:49] campaign of the Democratic candidate apparently
[00:21:52] persuaded a namesake of their
[00:21:56] opponent to run, in order to
[00:21:59] confuse voters, but if we now talk to Democrats, then Democrats
[00:22:03] feel that the administration somehow too
[00:22:07] strongly intervenes in the states' such
[00:22:10] decision-making process, because they usually manage
[00:22:14] elections, and such demands for voter lists and all
[00:22:18] the rest are somehow overstepping
[00:22:21] such ordinary
[00:22:24] and therefore Democrats are
[00:22:28] a little concerned and also because
[00:22:31] actually generally there haven't been such
[00:22:35] big frauds
[00:22:37] discovered in elections very often. What
[00:22:41] does it look like, who are people leaning towards
[00:22:43] right now? Well, that's a million
[00:22:46] dollar question, if I could answer that, then...
[00:22:50] uh, there wouldn't even be any need for elections, I could announce everything myself here. Uh,
[00:22:54] generally it's of course that
[00:22:57] there are some states that are definitely red, some
[00:23:01] states that are definitely blue, and then there's a whole bunch of
[00:23:04] swing states where the competition is
[00:23:08] always tighter, but I must admit that
[00:23:11] this time there are such surprising
[00:23:14] states where by all accounts
[00:23:17] Republicans should feel themselves... very
[00:23:20] confident, but actually the competition
[00:23:23] is still very tight, the situation is extremely equal, and
[00:23:27] in this regard I am primarily talking about Texas and
[00:23:30] Kansas, and I have also
[00:23:33] spoken with various Republicans and they have admitted that the tight
[00:23:37] competition in these states has been
[00:23:40] very shocking. Uh, does that now mean
[00:23:43] that those Republicans
[00:23:47] uh will definitely go for example to the Democrats, who are disappointed
[00:23:50] with President Donald Trump, who are disappointed with economic policy, who
[00:23:54] are disappointed with the so-called wars that were not supposed to
[00:23:57] happen, that cannot be said for sure, it may rather
[00:24:01] happen that they simply decide to stay home in these
[00:24:04] elections, but it must also be acknowledged that so far
[00:24:08] voter turnout has been quite high
[00:24:10] in early voting, that already around 53 million
[00:24:13] Americans have voted, which is
[00:24:16] seven million more than for example in the previous midterm elections. People
[00:24:20] are active, that's good to hear, their country's well-being matters. Thank you for joining
[00:24:24] us this morning and I think we'll meet again the day after tomorrow,
[00:24:28] through the exact same channel. Thank you.
[00:24:31] Lauri Almann, once again, good morning, let's continue our
[00:24:34] discussion here. Well, I'm going to ask a big question, how does it seem to you right now,
[00:24:37] can the balance of power in Congress change after these
[00:24:41] midterm elections? The balance of power in Congress may
[00:24:45] change after these midterm elections,
[00:24:48] well, making such predictions is always always a thankless task, but
[00:24:51] if we look at polling
[00:24:54] results, which can also be misleading,
[00:24:58] then let's say the shift towards Democrats
[00:25:01] in various places, as was just said earlier, even in those
[00:25:05] states where Republicans have usually
[00:25:08] been in a very good position, in those states
[00:25:12] where Donald Trump, for example, won not by five, six,
[00:25:15] seven percent, but by 10, 12,
[00:25:18] 17
[00:25:21] percent, uh, the polling results there tend
[00:25:24] to lean towards Democrats right now,
[00:25:27] and actually
[00:25:30] a certain nervousness is also indicated by how President Donald Trump's
[00:25:34] visits and speeches have been planned during this
[00:25:37] campaign, he has visited states that
[00:25:40] a Republican president should not
[00:25:43] usually visit, Iowa was heard,
[00:25:47] the same Texas, it has been guaranteed.
[00:25:51] USAs, so-called Republican
[00:25:54] state for some decades already
[00:25:57] and Kansas likewise, it's actually quite
[00:26:01] unexpected that the US. Republican President Donald Trump has to
[00:26:04] campaign in Kansas, which he won by 17 percent,
[00:26:07] that his foot is still a bit shaky and he understands that he can't be
[00:26:11] so sure anymore, yes, yes, that, that can certainly be said. What other
[00:26:15] stories stand out here, Mariann also gave examples,
[00:26:19] Barack Obama, former US president has also made jokes
[00:26:23] here, yes, here it is, er, let's say that
[00:26:26] the campaign has taken, so to speak, very, very colorful, very colorful tones as
[00:26:30] always in the USA, er, but... "but what is
[00:26:33] this time er er let's say
[00:26:35] more special is that, well, indeed, once again, as
[00:26:39] always and similarly, er er
[00:26:41] it is emphasized in every US election that this is indeed the historical
[00:26:45] election and everything depends on this election er and their heaviest
[00:26:48] artillery is brought out and
[00:26:51] naturally, so did Barack Obama, who has visited
[00:26:54] many many important states, exactly like
[00:26:58] Donald Trump, er Barack Obama
[00:27:01] in his..." er campaign
[00:27:04] in Ohio er gave an example
[00:27:07] where he, where he
[00:27:10] compared, where he very humorously started
[00:27:14] attacking Donald Trump
[00:27:17] er and and used such an expression that he
[00:27:21] has decorated the White House
[00:27:24] with, let's say, interior design taste as if Saddam Hussein
[00:27:28] had opened a Cheesecake Factory, Cheesecake Factory, then a very popular such family'.
[00:27:32] exactly, USA, let's listen to how he expressed it, then let's move
[00:27:35] on,
[00:27:43] now it went a little wrong, for a moment it was
[00:27:45] Barack, that was an Ohio ad, but but in between there was Barack, right, for a moment
[00:27:49] it was for a moment, can we get that again, so let's try again, a new attempt.
[00:28:18] such a show factor is always part of the deal in the United States, right, when elections
[00:28:21] are on, absolutely, but once again
[00:28:24] now this gave Republicans the opportunity to say how Barack
[00:28:28] Obama doesn't appreciate such a nice restaurant as Cheesecake
[00:28:31] Factory and... and then it started
[00:28:34] again, this kind of fake offense, Republicans
[00:28:38] have always been very good traditionally
[00:28:41] at being offended by such small small
[00:28:44] remarks and such light jokes, whereas
[00:28:48] their own president uses very very strong and
[00:28:51] actually such let's say, well, let's say
[00:28:54] still shocking expressions at times, er, to which
[00:28:58] Barack Obama in turn said, let's say, that a complete Republican...
[00:29:02] Republican campaign machine was launched, which then said that Democrats don't appreciate such a nice
[00:29:06] family restaurant, how can that be,
[00:29:10] and Barack Obama came back then in that Georgia campaign,
[00:29:13] which we, of which, of which there was also talk before
[00:29:16] and said that it
[00:29:19] is noteworthy that everyone was annoyed by that joke about Cheesecake
[00:29:22] Factory, but not by the fact that we compared Donald
[00:29:26] Trump to Saddam Hussein, that didn't bother him, so
[00:29:29] that's harsh, but but that shows, that's very. and and
[00:29:33] actually that shows once again Barack Obama's skill
[00:29:36] as a campaign master, that he throws out a hook, the other side swallows it,
[00:29:39] he comes back and makes a very clever joke
[00:29:43] and and quite confidently. Say very
[00:29:46] briefly, with such jokes, with such show elements, does one actually still win people
[00:29:50] over? Yes, of course it does,
[00:29:54] in the United States, this still works, it
[00:29:57] still works because you need such, well, so-called one sentence,
[00:30:00] to latch onto that one. "one sentence,
[00:30:03] with which, with which to win the attention
[00:30:06] of that relatively short attention
[00:30:10] span voter, so that
[00:30:14] is actually important, well, the day after tomorrow
[00:30:17] morning we will be wiser here too, thank you Lauri Alman, for coming this morning.
