6. Killing Tartu
No original ideas were used in the film
Killing Tartu, aptly named Tappev Tartu in its native language, is a compelling and unexpected cinematic gem. Released back in 1998, its runtime of 71 minutes unravels the unconventional storyline of the half-improvised, experimental film. What makes it truly unique was its innovative production method - the use of a borrowed television video camera, a script conceived as a screenwriting class assignment, and a team without any payment. Killing Tartu might be a film with a minimal budget and revenue, but it continues to capture the interest of movie enthusiasts who appreciate creativity and experimentation.
