Kuvamisseerialidega

Kuvamisseerialidega is an Estonian term used in media discussions to describe a form of storytelling that combines serialized narrative with strong visual elements. The phrase is not yet firmly standardized in film and media studies and appears mainly in informal online discourse and some critical writing about digital storytelling in Estonia.

Semantically, kuvamisseerialidega is built from kuvamine (depiction, portrayal), seeria (serial), and the comitative suffix -idega (with). In practice, the term refers to works that unfold over multiple episodes or installments and rely heavily on visual means—such as cinematography, image-based narration, animation, or graphic design—to convey mood and plot alongside dialogue and narration. It is often used when discussing cross-media or transmedia projects where the visual presentation is integral to the storytelling experience, rather than an ancillary accompaniment to text.

Because it is a relatively new and informal label, definitions vary between authors. The concept overlaps with established ideas such as web serials, visual storytelling, and transmedia storytelling, but kuvamisseerialidega emphasizes the central role of imagery in the serialized format. As of now, it remains a niche term within Estonian media discussions, without a fixed set of criteria.
