Documentary about the St. John's Day festival in Tallinn. Recorded with a hidden camera, the film is full of contrasts and expressively depicts the changes in the traditions of Midsummer's Eve and the emotional impoverishment of city dwellers, showing their behaviour at the bonfires - their loneliness as well as their alcohol-induced exuberant state in big crowds.
You can stream St. John's Day on Eternal Family.
St. John's Day was directed by Andres Sööt.
St. John's Day runs for 20min, and was released in 1978.
