1966-1969 he studied history, and 1970-1972 Estonian philology at Tartu State University. From 1971 until 1978, he worked at the newspaper Sirp ja Vasar .

He has also worked as a film and television screenwriter. [1]
In 1980, Kall was a signatory of the Letter of 40 intellectuals; a public letter in which 40 intellectuals attempted to defend the Estonian language and expressed their protest against the recklessness of the Republic-level government in dealing with youth protests that were sparked a week earlier due to the banning of a public performance of the band Propeller. The real reasons were much more deep-seated, and had to do primarily with the Russification policies of the Kremlin in occupied Estonia. [1]
Since 1984, Kall has been a member of the Estonian Writers Union. [2]
