Estonian film did not appear in an empty place. Figuratively speaking, every Estonian filmmaker has Johannes Pääsuke and his camera standing behind him or her. If it weren’t for him, we would have no reason to speak of the 100th anniversary of Estonian film. He created the path that all future filmmakers took after him. World cinema was born in 1985 with the help of the Lumière brothers in France. Besides those two, Thomas Alva Edison had something to do with it as well.
