KLASS: Behind The Scenes
Excerpts from the interview with Vallo Kirs (Kaspar Kordes)
Q: Why did you decide to take part in the filming of "Klass" ?
â Exactly one year ago, Gerda Kordemets sent an email to those who took part in the school's theater festival, offering the opportunity to participate in Ilmar Raag's new film project. It seemed appealing and interesting!
Q: You played Kaspar's role in the movie. What's his personality?
â Kaspar's character as he is presented in the film was created at the Koonga film camp in PĂ€rnumaa. He is an honest country boy, who came here to study at school from a small town of Antsla. Kaspar is a young man with a strong sense of honor, who is quite articulate, but often clashes with the others in the class. He is used to work in the countryside and get paid for it but studying in the city he has to stand up for himself and his beliefs.
Q: How similar are you and Kaspar?
â I chose this role precisely because we share much in common. I also often argue with other people, however I would like to have Kaspar's good personality traits that made him the morally upright person we see in the movie.
Q: What was special about making this film?
â The process of making this film was very interesting and quick. The film had a small budget and was shot every day for two weeks. There were almost no days off, and it happened that some scenes had to be played in a mentally and physically exhausted state so that it looked as real as possible. Sometimes, during acting and filming, I had to go through things that before I've only seen from the outside, and that, I must admit, is an experience in itself.
Q: Based on comments from Ilmar Raag, the movie may frighten many viewers. Do you have any comments?
â Yeah, in the film camps we discussed topics related to school violence. Lauri Pedaja, who played Anders, even made a video about incidents related to it. If a student got hit in the face just because he is different from the others, it shows that something is wrong. In the film, Joosep was a problem for the class, which is actually like a mini-model of society. If someone is different or special, there is always a possibility of conflict. And a class will listen to its leader because his opinions are respected.
Q: Who is the target audience for the movie?
â The thinking youth, I believe. However, it would be a good educational film for schools, but only if it's followed by a group discussion. This movie should make people think about the fact that violence begets violence, but it's not the way problems should be resolved.
