Twenty years later, Romania is a thriving democracy, an economic success, and a member of NATO and the European Union.

- A Taste for Submission -- Experimental Film in Communist Romania
The screening will start with a 20 minute presentation by Erwin Kessler followed by a Q&A at the end.
Independent moviemaking was a clandestine, highly dangerous activity in communist Romania and this forced people to find ingenious ways to bypass the omnipresent watch of the Securitate. Through a rare and unique selection of short films made underground during the 70s and 80s, Erwin Kessler will elucidate the social, political and anthropological elements that triggered Romania's unique response to communist totalitarianism.
