Time’s up: on the recent protests of Romanian students and filmmakers | The State of Cinema
Two simultaneous seismic movements are shifting the tectonic plates of Romanian cinema, in movements that change its territory in the years to come: two waves of simultaneous protests, one led by (but not limited to) documentary film professionals, the other led by the students of UNATC, the country’s biggest and most prestigious film and theater university. These two movements are, in parts, confluent and mutually supportive - even though the two causes have yet to undergo a formal union, what’s certain is that they are indicating a greater climate of discontent in the film industry.
