Originally trained as a biologist, Priit Pärn (pronounced Pyarn) now uses the medium of film animation to dissect society's hypocrises. The six films he has directed at the Tallin Studio since 1976 have made him one of the most important figures in international animation. His latest film, Breakfast on the Grass, won the Grand Prize at the 1988 Zagreb Festival of Animation, and those who saw it at PFA's Zagreb retrospective last Fall know that it is a complex film with a biting message. The action takes place in a number of episodes depicting everyday problems of life in the Soviet Union; characters from one episode pop up in another, scenes and characters are almost miraculously intertwined, until in the end, Manet's famous painting, with all its characters, is evoked. The Films of Priit Pärn: Is the Earth Round? (1977), A Trickster (1979), Some Exercises in Preparation for an Independent Life (1980), The Triangle (1982), Time Out/Fantasies (1984), and Breakfast on the Grass (1983, released 1988). Following questions-and-answers with Priit Pärn, and an intermission, we present a selection of Estonian animation, including Riho Unt and Hardi Volmer's War, another Zagreb prize-winner. Shot in an old Estonian mill, War depicts the battle between the rats and the crows for some abandoned grain, while a small bat (a symbol of the Estonian people) looks on.
