‘Screening Romanian Social Transformations, 1990-2021’ highlights and exploits the critical intervention of Romanian cinema and narrative television in ten debates relevant to the transformation of Romanian post socialist society, 1990-2021. The analysed texts are fiction, documentary, animation, short films, and television series. The project advances the findings of more disparate research in film and television studies on this topic and completes knowledge on Romanian society disseminated by historical and social sciences research. It demonstrates that film can offer original perspectives that broaden the comprehension of the accelerated transformation of the Romanian society since 1989.
