Toomas is an Estonian Orthodox clergyman who is deeply committed to music. He expresses that commitment through his job as an Ethno and Reggae music DJ in clubs and radio. A clergyman and a DJ – it is a combination that comes across as surprising and raises questions even in a largely secular country like Estonia. Is the gap between religious and secular life really as wide as it is typically assumed?

I have recently graduated from Visual Anthropology studies at the University of Manchester, England. I come from Estonia and most of the films I made during my studies were exploring cultural and historical fragments of Estonian life. I got into film-making mainly because of its potential to bring the understanding of different ways of living and thinking closer to wider audiences. I also enjoy the artistic and creative aspect of film-making. I am mostly drawn to subjects that are strongly stereotyped and therefore prejudiced in the society.
