00:01:15PÖFF film festival begins. How mother and
00:01:19daughter Tiina and Triin run it, we'll
00:01:21see that right away.
00:01:26PÖFF's new artistic director Triin Tramberg has, despite her young
00:01:29age, been involved with the 30-year-old festival
00:01:33since the beginning. What are your first PÖFF memories?
00:01:36Probably somewhere under these tables, Sakala Center,
00:01:40Sakala Center is still
00:01:43that massive building and being
00:01:46there, that's my main memory, the cinema
00:01:49house, of course, but I
00:01:52actually started working on film right after PÖFF, so I still
00:01:56spent most of my
00:02:00childhood at the puppet theater, when there was a film there, and
00:02:03I watched all the films like that, that I came straight from school
00:02:07to the puppet theater and watched, I think, all the screenings,
00:02:11I assume, this is not very
00:02:13surprising, because Riin's mother is the creator and soul of PÖFF, Tiina
00:02:17Lokk. I just remember that, I should even have a photo where she
00:02:21was either six years old or something like that, where she
00:02:25slept on the table when we
00:02:28were organizing the festival. It was still exciting
00:02:31and I still liked all the
00:02:35hustle and bustle and the energy and the novelty and all those
00:02:38people. Triin has held several
00:02:41positions at PÖFF, starting as a program coordinator
00:02:45assistant while still at university. After that, she has worked
00:02:49both on the festival's film industry side and coordinating competition programs. Now
00:02:53she is the artistic director, a role previously held by her mother Tiina,
00:02:57in addition to her director position. Did you have to persuade Triin as well? "Or
00:03:00did you ask if she was willing, and she immediately said yes? No, I didn't have to persuade her
00:03:04because she had also reached a point where she felt
00:03:07that she had been doing this PÖFF for 15 years
00:03:11and all those sections that
00:03:14she had built up and managed, she had also been doing them for quite
00:03:18some time. When I made her the offer, she
00:03:21thought 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,
00:03:25but that it was an interesting challenge for her and I think she's
00:03:29ready for it.
00:03:33But what advice has her mother given her for her new job?
00:03:36Is there? In my opinion, we haven't I haven't given any, no, I think
00:03:39I gave one piece of advice: run this year as you run and then
00:03:43start thinking about what you'll really do new, so that it's like usual, that
00:03:47you first need to get used to it, but I've already done that, but I actually
00:03:51it's in my nature that I'm not really someone who
00:03:54immediately so brave and bold is still
00:03:58her characteristic, she is... definitely much better
00:04:01than me, she is calmer, I'm
00:04:05still like that, I don't know where that temperament comes from, so I've had
00:04:08quite a hard time in life with that,
00:04:12but Triin is much calmer, which is
00:04:15definitely much better when working with the festival
00:04:18team and the program team, I
00:04:22think, I don't know what I myself hope and
00:04:26would 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
00:04:34her own generation to it, her own generation's
00:04:37vision and a completely different one, maybe it doesn't have to be
00:04:40a completely different vision, because at the end of the day, well, a good film is still
00:04:44a good film, right, but I definitely started
00:04:48feeling somewhere that I'm already like an old turtle chasing
00:04:51my Antonionis and Fellinis, well,
00:04:54figuratively speaking, but Triin has a broader
00:04:58view here and..." "Maybe also a better
00:05:01connection with what the audience wants,
00:05:04so I have always said that I would be an ideal
00:05:08program creator for critics, that
00:05:10Triin could offer a job, "exactly, we can talk
00:05:14about that. Now, according to Triin, the tasks are divided so that she deals
00:05:18with the program, but Tiina continues with finances, strategy and
00:05:22general organization management.
00:05:25Triin, what are the qualities you have admired most in your mother
00:05:28over the years, or like, is there something
00:05:32you think, if only I had that, it would
00:05:35be easier? Mm, actually
00:05:38seeing the big picture is still..."
00:05:43Inspiration, seeing things and seeing,
00:05:46not, I think that's what she has taught me, that don't
00:05:50just look at next year, but always look five years ahead,
00:05:53and one main
00:05:56lesson is also that, that
00:06:00don't just break things, because
00:06:03breaking is easy, but building up is hard, yes, that,
00:06:07yes. Great, can you be
00:06:11like that, that PÖFF doesn't come up at all?
00:06:14Yes, and it's very easy for us in that
00:06:18respect, again, I have these boundaries and for example, last
00:06:21year she came I always go on vacation with my daughter
00:06:25in April and she came along and then I told her that the condition is that we don't
00:06:28talk about PÖFF at all and we didn't. There is room for
00:06:32development, according to the mother and daughter, at the anniversary-themed PÖFF,
00:06:35there are certainly dreams to be fulfilled. I
00:06:38would like to hope that this decade will still see
00:06:42the dream come true, that a part of the city hall will also be
00:06:45PÖFF's cinema, where we
00:06:48could present our competition films
00:06:52in a worthy environment, so that's one
00:06:56thing, which doesn't mean that we will all stay in this Rotermann
00:06:59Quarter and preserve all its charm and our
00:07:03Apollo Plaza is definitely our part, because it's in an ideal
00:07:06location, but unfortunately, let's say that what's happening
00:07:10in front of Alpha right now, we have to hold our
00:07:12breath, that we don't get international
00:07:16prescriptions from somewhere, that we still
00:07:20go up the hill through the Beldik stairs,
00:07:23where no, it was a kind of escape stairs that she went down and then
00:07:27it's dark and then ah, the door opens,
00:07:31today, you're in front of the picture and then from there it's already
00:07:34a photo wall, so I believe that of course such wonderful
00:07:38experiences, but you can't ride on that for long, something
00:07:41very big must come from there. If we get our own cinema,
00:07:45then it's definitely possible that our festival
00:07:49will take a significantly bigger leap forward. With this festival,
00:07:52it's always that you do the festival and only
00:07:56then you know how to do it better, and I think that's also the reason why
00:07:59I've been doing this for so long, that every time you
00:08:03finish, you get that feeling that oh, but you could actually do this better,
00:08:06you don't want to give it up right away, because you know how to do it
00:08:10better, so some things... "And of course you also give up some things,
00:08:14but that's the circle I'm
00:08:17in.
00:11:35land in Estonia has been re- evaluated.
00:11:38We will definitely talk about this, as the technology sector in both Estonia and the world has been hit by
00:11:42a wave of layoffs. Companies increasingly justify changes with
00:11:45artificial intelligence. For years, we have talked here in Estonia about
00:11:49a shortage of programmers. Will we soon see that there may be too many of
00:11:52them? Estonia's oldest..." also fits
00:11:55into the show, see you
00:11:57at nine.
00:12:01Well then, for the end of our show, one more piece, namely,
00:12:05yesterday there was an Estonian song event, where
00:12:08for the first time all the finalists performed
00:12:11for the fans, and by the way, at the same time a limited
00:12:15number of fan
00:12:17tickets went on sale for the fan zone in front of the
00:12:21stage of the final concert, and they can still be bought now. And we remind you of
00:12:25one thing. The grand final concert of Eesti Laul will take place on
00:12:28January 30th at the Unibet
00:16:59but it will definitely rain this week too, and if it goes particularly smoothly,
00:17:03we might even get some sleet here in the first half of the week, not everywhere, not
00:17:07everywhere, but in Eastern Estonia and somewhere else here tomorrow,
00:17:10I guess it was, tomorrow it might even sleet, but today is
00:17:14November 2nd, as we started, and it's All Souls' Day,
00:17:18so this morning we have a reason to look a little at that old
00:17:22belief and custom in such a way, what to do or how to understand
00:17:26that those souls have indeed visited home, what did Estonians
00:17:29think and believe, what were the signs to pay attention to,
00:17:32for example. It's very important to talk about that too, and to remind
00:17:36of it, I think so. Artificial intelligence increases productivity, well,
00:17:40probably yes, in many companies, but one
00:17:43study shows that this productivity is not reflected
00:17:46in financial results, wealth still doesn't come easily, wealth doesn't come, why is that
00:17:50and a little bit about whether the role of
00:17:54employees, their valuing, their evaluation systems, should
00:17:58all be re-evaluated in a situation where artificial intelligence
00:18:01does a large part of the work and naturally we will also talk a little about last week's big
00:18:05news, which concerned large layoffs in various companies,
00:18:09how it is related to that, even in one unicorn, even
00:18:49important week has begun, namely the midterm election week, and this usually
00:18:52happens so that if the president's term is four years,
00:18:56then when two years have passed exactly and two years are still ahead, then the
00:19:00midterm elections take place and the composition of
00:19:03Congress may change depending on who
00:19:06people plan to vote for, what kind of people they
00:19:10like, whether they prefer Democrats or Republicans. This
00:19:14morning we will talk about all this here on Terevisioon and Lauri
00:19:17Almann has already taken a seat in the studio, good morning to you, good morning, but
00:19:21before that, once again we have the opportunity to talk
00:19:24to Marian Rohemägi, our own journalist, who is in the United
00:19:28States, well, good morning from our side to
00:19:31you too. Good morning to
00:19:34all of you, well please, tell me how
00:19:38vigorously campaigns are being run, what people are being tempted with,
00:19:41what they are being offered, are there also such big disputes, contradictions
00:19:45to be seen, discussions?
00:19:48The campaign is in full swing as always and all the way
00:19:52to the end, and of course
00:19:55both Democrats and Republicans' biggest
00:19:59fish and biggest names
00:20:02have in recent weeks held such big
00:20:05campaign events, for example, former president
00:20:09Barack Obama was in Georgia state last week. President Donald Trump
00:20:13delivered a speech just a few hours ago
00:20:16in Iowa state. But there are also such
00:20:19smaller community campaigns, so it must
00:20:23be remembered that it was also Halloween week, so
00:20:26parties held such Halloween
00:20:29events. They hold fairs,
00:20:33they hold door-to-door campaigns and then they still
00:20:36try to tempt their
00:20:39voters by sending them various text messages,
00:20:42sending letters, making social media posts,
00:20:46so absolutely everything that comes to mind, everything is being done.
00:20:50Does this also mean that security and transparency
00:20:54are being looked at with a sharper eye, because
00:20:57well, the possibility of early voting by mail is already
00:21:01an option for a long time,
00:21:03that's true, yes, but it also depends on who you talk to,
00:21:07meaning what is important to them or
00:21:10what strikes them about the transparency of
00:21:14these elections, that for
00:21:17Republicans, the concern is that they fear that
00:21:21those who should not vote will be able to vote,
00:21:24and therefore various states have
00:21:28been asked for example for voter lists,
00:21:31lawsuits have also been filed, for example in California state there has been
00:21:35quite a sharp dispute, and
00:21:38the Alaska incident has
00:21:41added fuel to the fire, that is, the Lisa
00:21:45Murkowski case, where the
00:21:49campaign of the Democratic candidate apparently
00:21:52persuaded a namesake of their
00:21:56opponent to run, in order to
00:21:59confuse voters, but if we now talk to Democrats, then Democrats
00:22:03feel that the administration somehow too
00:22:07strongly intervenes in the states' such
00:22:10decision-making process, because they usually manage
00:22:14elections, and such demands for voter lists and all
00:22:18the rest are somehow overstepping
00:22:21such ordinary
00:22:24and therefore Democrats are
00:22:28a little concerned and also because
00:22:31actually generally there haven't been such
00:22:35big frauds
00:22:37discovered in elections very often. What
00:22:41does it look like, who are people leaning towards
00:22:43right now? Well, that's a million
00:22:46dollar question, if I could answer that, then...
00:22:50uh, there wouldn't even be any need for elections, I could announce everything myself here. Uh,
00:22:54generally it's of course that
00:22:57there are some states that are definitely red, some
00:23:01states that are definitely blue, and then there's a whole bunch of
00:23:04swing states where the competition is
00:23:08always tighter, but I must admit that
00:23:11this time there are such surprising
00:23:14states where by all accounts
00:23:17Republicans should feel themselves... very
00:23:20confident, but actually the competition
00:23:23is still very tight, the situation is extremely equal, and
00:23:27in this regard I am primarily talking about Texas and
00:23:30Kansas, and I have also
00:23:33spoken with various Republicans and they have admitted that the tight
00:23:37competition in these states has been
00:23:40very shocking. Uh, does that now mean
00:23:43that those Republicans
00:23:47uh will definitely go for example to the Democrats, who are disappointed
00:23:50with President Donald Trump, who are disappointed with economic policy, who
00:23:54are disappointed with the so-called wars that were not supposed to
00:23:57happen, that cannot be said for sure, it may rather
00:24:01happen that they simply decide to stay home in these
00:24:04elections, but it must also be acknowledged that so far
00:24:08voter turnout has been quite high
00:24:10in early voting, that already around 53 million
00:24:13Americans have voted, which is
00:24:16seven million more than for example in the previous midterm elections. People
00:24:20are active, that's good to hear, their country's well-being matters. Thank you for joining
00:24:24us this morning and I think we'll meet again the day after tomorrow,
00:24:28through the exact same channel. Thank you.
00:24:31Lauri Almann, once again, good morning, let's continue our
00:24:34discussion here. Well, I'm going to ask a big question, how does it seem to you right now,
00:24:37can the balance of power in Congress change after these
00:24:41midterm elections? The balance of power in Congress may
00:24:45change after these midterm elections,
00:24:48well, making such predictions is always always a thankless task, but
00:24:51if we look at polling
00:24:54results, which can also be misleading,
00:24:58then let's say the shift towards Democrats
00:25:01in various places, as was just said earlier, even in those
00:25:05states where Republicans have usually
00:25:08been in a very good position, in those states
00:25:12where Donald Trump, for example, won not by five, six,
00:25:15seven percent, but by 10, 12,
00:25:1817
00:25:21percent, uh, the polling results there tend
00:25:24to lean towards Democrats right now,
00:25:27and actually
00:25:30a certain nervousness is also indicated by how President Donald Trump's
00:25:34visits and speeches have been planned during this
00:25:37campaign, he has visited states that
00:25:40a Republican president should not
00:25:43usually visit, Iowa was heard,
00:25:47the same Texas, it has been guaranteed.
00:25:51USAs, so-called Republican
00:25:54state for some decades already
00:25:57and Kansas likewise, it's actually quite
00:26:01unexpected that the US. Republican President Donald Trump has to
00:26:04campaign in Kansas, which he won by 17 percent,
00:26:07that his foot is still a bit shaky and he understands that he can't be
00:26:11so sure anymore, yes, yes, that, that can certainly be said. What other
00:26:15stories stand out here, Mariann also gave examples,
00:26:19Barack Obama, former US president has also made jokes
00:26:23here, yes, here it is, er, let's say that
00:26:26the campaign has taken, so to speak, very, very colorful, very colorful tones as
00:26:30always in the USA, er, but... "but what is
00:26:33this time er er let's say
00:26:35more special is that, well, indeed, once again, as
00:26:39always and similarly, er er
00:26:41it is emphasized in every US election that this is indeed the historical
00:26:45election and everything depends on this election er and their heaviest
00:26:48artillery is brought out and
00:26:51naturally, so did Barack Obama, who has visited
00:26:54many many important states, exactly like
00:26:58Donald Trump, er Barack Obama
00:27:01in his..." er campaign
00:27:04in Ohio er gave an example
00:27:07where he, where he
00:27:10compared, where he very humorously started
00:27:14attacking Donald Trump
00:27:17er and and used such an expression that he
00:27:21has decorated the White House
00:27:24with, let's say, interior design taste as if Saddam Hussein
00:27:28had opened a Cheesecake Factory, Cheesecake Factory, then a very popular such family'.
00:27:32exactly, USA, let's listen to how he expressed it, then let's move
00:27:35on,
00:27:43now it went a little wrong, for a moment it was
00:27:45Barack, that was an Ohio ad, but but in between there was Barack, right, for a moment
00:27:49it was for a moment, can we get that again, so let's try again, a new attempt.
00:28:18such a show factor is always part of the deal in the United States, right, when elections
00:28:21are on, absolutely, but once again
00:28:24now this gave Republicans the opportunity to say how Barack
00:28:28Obama doesn't appreciate such a nice restaurant as Cheesecake
00:28:31Factory and... and then it started
00:28:34again, this kind of fake offense, Republicans
00:28:38have always been very good traditionally
00:28:41at being offended by such small small
00:28:44remarks and such light jokes, whereas
00:28:48their own president uses very very strong and
00:28:51actually such let's say, well, let's say
00:28:54still shocking expressions at times, er, to which
00:28:58Barack Obama in turn said, let's say, that a complete Republican...
00:29:02Republican campaign machine was launched, which then said that Democrats don't appreciate such a nice
00:29:06family restaurant, how can that be,
00:29:10and Barack Obama came back then in that Georgia campaign,
00:29:13which we, of which, of which there was also talk before
00:29:16and said that it
00:29:19is noteworthy that everyone was annoyed by that joke about Cheesecake
00:29:22Factory, but not by the fact that we compared Donald
00:29:26Trump to Saddam Hussein, that didn't bother him, so
00:29:29that's harsh, but but that shows, that's very. and and
00:29:33actually that shows once again Barack Obama's skill
00:29:36as a campaign master, that he throws out a hook, the other side swallows it,
00:29:39he comes back and makes a very clever joke
00:29:43and and quite confidently. Say very
00:29:46briefly, with such jokes, with such show elements, does one actually still win people
00:29:50over? Yes, of course it does,
00:29:54in the United States, this still works, it
00:29:57still works because you need such, well, so-called one sentence,
00:30:00to latch onto that one. "one sentence,
00:30:03with which, with which to win the attention
00:30:06of that relatively short attention
00:30:10span voter, so that
00:30:14is actually important, well, the day after tomorrow
00:30:17morning we will be wiser here too, thank you Lauri Alman, for coming this morning.
00:30:33Good morning, it's Monday and it's seven o'clock and the news is starting.
00:30:37As of today, due to the Rail Baltic infrastructure works
00:30:41taking place in Tallinn, the timetable for passenger trains on the eastern and southern routes will change.
00:30:45The travel times for the Aegviidu, Tapa and Narva lines will be shortened.
00:30:49The travel times for Narva journeys will be shortened by an average of 20 minutes, and the Aegviidu
00:30:53and Tapa journeys will become five minutes faster, Elron announced. The infrastructure works
00:30:55on the Tartu-Valga section are also ending, which means that the last
00:30:59ones of the day.
