The first collection of essays to comprehensively map out New Romanian CinemaCovering 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.ContributorsMelinda Blos-Jáni, Sapientia University, Cluj-NapocaMircea Deaca, University of BucharestDana Duma, Bucharest National University of Theatre and FilmKalling Heck, University of RedlandsRaluca Iacob, independent researcher and film curatorLiviu Lutas, Linnaeus UniversitDominique Nasta, Université Libre de BruxellesÁgnes Pethő, Sapientia Hungarian University, Cluj-NapocaDoru Pop, Babeş-Bolyai University, ClujKatalin Sándor, Babeş-Bolyai University, ClujChristina Stojanova, University of ReginaIrina Trocan, Bucharest National University of Theatre and FilmMarian Țuțui, Hyperion UniversityIoana Uricaru, Middlebury CollegeAndrea Virginás, Sapientia University, Cluj-Napoca
