Regilaul – Songs of the Ancient Sea (2011. Directed by Ulrike Koch)
On the shores of the Gulf of Finland, the ancient Finno-Ugric peoples originated a singing tradition of mysterious power called the Regilaul. Based on the continuous repetition of eight-syllable verses, they produce a haunting sound able to connect the fleeting present with the eternal circle of life. This film explores how Regi songs still fire the imagination today, weaving together people and nature through song. 30-40 mins viewing, followed by discussion.
