Curiosidades

In the Crosswind is a 2014 Estonian drama film directed by Martti Helde. It was screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The film is about the forced deportation by Stalin's Soviet Union of an Estonian family to Siberia in the June deportation. It is based on a real-life diary from the period and uses a long sequence of "living tableaus" for the main narrative to invoke the frozen nature of traumatizing events in an individual memory.

Production

Filming took place at the Tapa Central Polygon, Sirgala, Kabala Railway Station, Viljandi County, Järva-Jaani Rural Municipality, Rae Rural Municipality, near Rakvere, Sillamäe and elsewhere.

In the spring of 2011, the film crew visited the documentary film forum "Docs in Thessaloniki" in Greece and found a co-producer from Austria and a foreign distributor there. Nearly 600 people participated on the film's production, who were also selected through a competition from nearly 2,000 people.
