Viire Valdma

Viire Valdma (born August 29, 1960) is an Estonian stage, television and film actress. In 1981, Vire Valdma made her feature film debut as Reet Pärn in the Peeter Simm directed drama Ideaalmaastik. The film was based on a novel by Karl Helemäe in which a member of the Young Communist League arrives at a collective farm and has to decide whether to follow the wisdom of the villagers, or the orders of Communist party authorities. This was followed by the role of Milla in the 1983 Kaljo Kiisk directed Nipernaadi for Tallinnfilm; the film was an adaptation of August Gailit's 1928 influential novel Toomas Nipernaadi. In 1989, she had a small role in the Leia Laius directed drama Varastatud kohtumine, about a mother who was released from a Soviet prison camp and tries to reconcile with her son. The same year, she appeared in the Mikk Mikiver directed drama Doktor Stockmann. In 1990, she appeared as the character Liivi in the Aimée Beekman and Vladimir Beekman penned, Kaljo Kiisk directed drama Regina. Following her appearance in Regina, Valdma would concentrate on her stage career and not appear in another film until a small role in 2002's Marko Raat directed political thriller Agent Sinikael, starring Mait Malmsten and Kersti Heinloo. In 2003, she appeared in the role of Imbi in the Rando Pettai directed, Peep Pedmanson penned comedy Vanad ja kobedad saavad jalad alla (English release title: Made in Estonia). The film was based on the popular Estonian radio-serial and television comedy series Vanad ja kobedad. In 2007, she returned to film as Liina in the Andres Maimik and Rain Tolk directed road movie comedy Jan Uuspõld läheb Tartusse; a film that portrays Estonian actor Jan Uuspõld as a down-on-his-luck caricature of himself trying to hitchhike from Tallinn to Tartu to perform in a role at the Vanemuine theatre. That same year she played the role of Kärt in the Rainer Sarnet directed drama Kuhu põgenevad hinged, starring Ragne Veensalu. The film was produced by Exitfilm and based on the novel Mis sinuga juhtus, Ann? by Aidi Vallik about a troubled teenage girl whose brother is born with a heart defect. In 2018, she appeared as Imbi, the mother of a young woman who abandons her infant in the Liina Triškina-Vanhatalo-directed Allfilm drama Võta või jäta. Valdma has also appeared in a number of film shorts and student films
