Children of the Sun at Leetse: the first Estonian sound feature

„Päikese lapsed“ Leetses: esimene eesti helimängufilm

Päikese lapsed (Children of the Sun), directed, written and shot by Theodor Luts with music by the Finnish composer Georg Malmstén, was the first Estonian feature film with sound. It tells of a painter, his summer companion and a rich girl, and its locations included Leetse on the Pakri peninsula and the waterfall park at Keila-Joa. It premiered at the Modern cinema in Tallinn on 3 November 1932. Only part of the film survives; the National Archives publish the surviving 47 minutes free on the Meediateek.

Eesti keeles

„Päikese lapsed“, mille lavastas, kirjutas ja filmis Theodor Luts ning mille muusika lõi Soome helilooja Georg Malmstén, oli esimene eesti helimängufilm. See räägib maalikunstnikust, tema suvekaaslasest ja rikkast tüdrukust ning võttepaikade seas olid Leetse Pakri poolsaarel ja Keila-Joa joapark. Film esilinastus Tallinnas kinos Modern 3. novembril 1932. Film on säilinud osaliselt; Rahvusarhiiv avaldab säilinud 47 minutit tasuta Meediateegis.
