“Now Is the Time to Include the Films Produced by the Alexandru Sahia Documentary Studio in Our Conversations About the Communist Past.” An Interview with Adina Brãdeanu
Journal Title: Martor. The Museum of the Romanian Peasant Anthropology Review - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue
Abstract
An interview with researcher Adina Brădeanu (University of Oxford) around the topic of curating film heritage. Since 2014, Brădeanu has curated a DVD series (SAHIA VINTAGE) which rediscovers the output and the production culture of the Alexandru Sahia studio (1950-1990), which was socialist Roma¬nia’s only studio specialized in documentary production. Brădeanu discusses the relevance of this collection, the curatorial process behind the DVDs, and the meaning of the term “vintage” in the context of a project that invites reflec¬tion on Romania’s socialism as lived experience.
