The New Romanian Cinema

The New Romanian Cinema Edited by Christina Stojanova With the Participation of Dana Duma Covering more than forty films made since 2001 - including The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, The Paper will be Blue, Police, Adjective and Beyond the Hills - this pioneering collection of essays on New Romanian Cinema is the first to contextualise it aesthetically, theoretically and historically. Scholars from across Europe and North America are brought together, reflecting on the realism, minimalism and intermedial artifice of New Romanian cinemas, on its approaches to issues of national and gender identity, and on its unique convergence of ethics and aesthetics. With its thorough bibliographic and filmographic references, and a comprehensive historical overview, the anthology represents a systematic guide to New Romanian Cinema as a consolidated cinematic movement, and highlights its potential as a rich interdisciplinary field of study. Christina Stojanova is an associate professor at the Department of Film, University of Regina. Dana Duma is a film critic and Professor in Film History at the National University of Theatre and Cinema in Bucharest.
