Scrisoare din Moldova / Letter from Moldova (2010)

Letter from Moldova is a story about a journey to Moldova told through 10 letters that reflect on the collapse of the Soviet Union, the contradictory aspect of the current power of the communist party, and the uneasy proximity between post-colonialism and nationalism. On another level the video reveals the problematic nature of travel discourse and the limits of the tourist gaze through the narrator’s own misunderstandings and inherited prejudices about the Russians.
