Sear­ching for Roma­ni­ans who lived in Roma­nia bet­ween 1980–1990

Hel­lo! I’m Jose­phi­ne and I’m a film­ma­ker from Ber­lin!

I’m curr­ent­ly working on a film pro­ject inspi­red by real events in Roma­nia during the late 1980s and ear­ly 1990s – the peri­od around the fall of the Ceaușes­cu regime. The focus is on the expe­ri­en­ces of child­ren and fami­lies who were direct­ly affec­ted at that time.

I’m loo­king to speak with peo­p­le who eit­her lived through that peri­od them­sel­ves or who­se par­ents or rela­ti­ves were in Roma­nia back then. My aim is to hear per­so­nal memo­ries, impres­si­ons, and fee­lings – not offi­ci­al histo­ry, but real, human per­spec­ti­ves.

All con­ver­sa­ti­ons will, of cour­se, be trea­ted with full con­fi­den­tia­li­ty. This is not about sha­ring pri­va­te details publicly, but about gai­ning a deeper under­stan­ding of that time so it can be por­tray­ed authen­ti­cal­ly and respectful­ly in the film.

If you know someone – or are yours­elf wil­ling – to share what it was like back then, I’d be tru­ly gra­teful to hear from you. Every sto­ry, big or small, mat­ters.

Plea­se wri­te me a mail to: editsbyphine@​gmail.​com.

I’m loo­king for­ward to hea­ring from you! ☺️
