ROU/HRV 2023, Documentary film, 68 min
Director: Vlad Petri
OmeU (Farsi, Romanian with English subtitles)

An intimate and political documentary that weaves together the history of two countries rarely united, and the lives of two women resisting oppressive regimes and challenging patriarchal societies through the power of their desire.
By juxtaposing unusual archive images from two distant political and cultural contexts, the film brings us closer to exciting moments of courage and fear, hope and disappointment that accompany revolutions, and places Eastern Europe and the Middle East at the center of the great events that marked the 20th century. (Farsi and Romanian with English subtitles)

After the screening, there will be a talk with Elahe Haschemi Yekani, Professor of English and American Literature and Culture with a Focus on Postcolonial Studies at the Department of English and American Studies at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
