Smoked Sauna Sisterhood (Savusanna sõsarad) 2023
Friday, November 24, 2023 8.30pm – Duration 89 minutes
Director: Anna Hints
Language: Estonian, English subtitles
It took the Anna Hints seven long years to deliver such an intimate, unique, and healing film to the big screen. She knows the smoke sauna (part of the UNESCO cultural heritage list) from childhood and developed a magical vision to depict the small, murky cabin world with hearty sincerity. Imagine sitting relaxed on a wooden bench in a warm almost dark sauna in the company of frank women in the forest of Võromaa. If you ever sweated in any sauna, you would recall that in an intimate collective space at a certain moment, someone shares their joys and sorrows, to soothe the soul and bare pain. A spiritual, stunning, and uplifting immersive experience deserves to be seen again
