Baltic Event Works in Progress
Kalev
It’s the summer of 1990. The Soviet Union is teetering on the verge of collapse and the little Baltic nations struggle to take back their lost independence. The Soviet Union`s basketball championship is set to begin on the backdrop of a deeply divided society.
The Estonian team Kalev faces a momentous decision. With Estonian independence seemingly within reach, a rising tide of public opinion opposes the Estonian national team’s articipation in the USSR’s championship. As professional athletes, the team makes the unpopular choice. Against all odds, Kalev makes it to the finals.
Ove Musting (born 1977) graduated from Tallinn Pedagogical University with BA in Audiovisual Arts. He has created award-winning short features and ads, music videos, TV shows and multicam live broadcasts. He won an EFTA award as the best TV director in 2017 and was a Cannes Lion finalist in 2019. Ove is also a founding member of the band Winny Puhh. Kalev is Ove`s first full-length feature film.
