Sounds and Stories from Ruhnu Island is an interdisciplinary project that celebrates the unique history of Ruhnu. We made this film in one take, an early sunday morning, in between a swim and a run. 

Recording of Sounds and Stories from Ruhnu Island by Vincent Moon, made during the XXXI Viljandi Folk Music Festival in Estonia.

Their project aims to rekindle the island’s rich cultural and musical heritage, which unfortunately was lost when the local Ruhnu community dispersed during World War II.
