MEET THE FILMMAKERS: HÕBE ILUS & MIHKEL OKSMANN

Hõbe Ilus is a documentary filmmaker and visual storyteller from Estonia. After achieving a BA in Literature and Theatre Studies, she decided to travel and live abroad. This decision guided her to many odd jobs and cross-cultural experiences. Having experienced life from unfamiliar angles, she learned that she can never escape her roots nor the urge to create. Her interest lies in human nature. Her film language is poetic, often minimalistic, yet rich in detail. In 2018 she graduated with a Documentary Master’s from the Baltic Film and Media School at Tallinn University, and is an alumna of Masterclass Interdoc (2017, Serbia). In 2019-20, she was a participant of the documentary program at UnionDocs Collaborative Studio in Brooklyn, New York. Currently working with co-director Mihkel Oksman on a film project about the little-known sport of ice sailing.
