It is so bad to be Estonian
This article examines two Estonian parody music videos that were broadcast in an annual sketch program Tujurikkuja (Mood Spoiler) on Estonian Public Broadcasting. The videos target narratives of exceptionalism and racism in contemporary Estonia.

The Politics of Nordsploitation
The Politics of Nordsploitation starts with an ambitious goal to rewrite Nordic film history with its focus on exploitation films that do not adhere to any national project or mainstream film culture and have, therefore, been “forgotten” and categorized as “cheap and irrelevant by cultural authorities” (p. 6). Tommy Gustafsson and Pietari Kääpä provide a historical overview of the politics of exploitation cinema that shares characteristics with g…
