Eru Ilúvatar - The Ethos of Tolkien´s Lore (26 min)
Eru Ilúvatar is a story about the hidden symbolism behind Tolkien´s stories The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, analysed by a Tolkien specialist, Tolkien language scholar and Lutheran pastor Petri Tikka from Finland. Visually impressive documentary features amazing artworks by well-known Tolkien artist Jef Murray (1960-2015).
Eru Ilúvatar has been awarded in several international film festivals.
Finnish broadcasting companies told us that this program is not in any of their genrés.
So, after the film festival screenings, we decided to release this documentary film only in VimeoVOD.
Watch the trailer and you will know some more.

Some words from Jef Murray RIP
Many thanks for the kind note. I would be delighted to allow the
use of my paintings and/or sketches in your documentary. All I would
require is acknowledgement, and I'd be happy to work with your production team to get you whatever images might best suit the program.
Thanks so much for contacting me and for considering using my
work!!
Nai Eru lye mánata
and later in 2015:
Brava! This is really marvellous! A great, great improvement over the first
translation, plus more polished all 'round. My compliments to you and
everyone else involved with the production!
Best Regards,
