One cannot speak about communism at the street corner – screening and discussions. Valeriu Antonovici

One cannot speak about communism at the street corner is a film about memory realized by Valeriu Antonovici, a film that reflects on the different perspectives of relating to the communist experience, from the official discourses to the opinions of sympathizers of the former communist party, from the ideas of randomly chosen people on the streets, in parks, on the subway to the comments of sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists. All these different points of view make place for a more nuanced analysis of the communist past.
The screening was followed by an informal discussion with the author.

Valeriu Antonovici is a researcher in social sciences and a documentary filmmaker.
