Arus: On Tour with Puuluubi, There Was Not a Single Concert Where They Did Not Engage the Audience

Director Taavi Arus praised the musical group Puuluubi for their outstanding ability to connect with audiences during their tours.

In an interview with Sirp, director Taavi Arus reflected on his experiences filming a documentary about the band Puuluubi, highlighting their exceptional talent in engaging concert audiences. Arus noted that throughout their tours, there was not a single performance where they failed to captivate the crowd, illustrating their professionalism and skill as performers. This consistent audience connection partially explains the band's popularity and appeal in Estonia.

Arus, who has become a known name in Estonian documentary filmmaking, has shifted from working as a cinematographer to directing and editing his own films. His documentary work often focuses on subcultures and music, themes that resonate deeply with his creative vision. His passion for these subjects is evident in the stylistic and dynamic editing he applies to his projects, thus enhancing the storytelling aspect of his documentaries.

Among his notable works are three portraits of punk artists, demonstrating his interest in edgy, underground scenes. These documentaries include "Enam kui elu" about Psychoterror's Freddy Grenzmann, and episodes from the series "Eesti lood" featuring the punk figure Pasa-Pets. Arus's upcoming film is titled "Kõik teevad kõike valesti," which continues his exploration of musical narratives, showcasing his dedication to documenting Estonia's vibrant music culture.
