We’re excited to confirm our final guest for this year’s LBFF! Estonian actress Ester Kuntu will attend the screening and Q&A of The Invisible Fight on Saturday, 30 November. The Invisible Fight deploys an explosive mix of kung fu, heavy metal, and Orthodox Christianity.

From production notes: “I like the theatre, but my heart is in film,” says Ester Kuntu, an awarded film and theatre actress. An avid figure skater as a child, Ester later turned to martial arts, a passion of hers until this day. “But as it happens, I only have one blow in this kung fu movie - a simple slap in the face,” she says. “Rainer wasn’t looking for learnt skills - he was searching for hidden purity, the invisible.” The actress describes making The Invisible Fight a rampant journey on the borders of reality: “I would compare it to flying.” Ester plays Rita, who represents the Orthodox female archetype, where humility is combined with sexuality.
