Exploring the portrayal of women in Romanian films during Ceaușescu’s regime: A feminist analysis of Cine mă strigă? (Who is calling me?) and Angela merge mai departe (Angela moves on)

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the representation of women in Romanian films during the communist period under Ceaușescu’s regime, especially after the implementation of the July thesis in 1971, when additional restrictions were imposed on the population. The paper examines two audiovisual productions that focus on the portrayal and position of women in society. The films, Cine mă strigă (Who is Calling Me?) and Angela merge mai departe (Angela Moves On), are analyzed in order to explain issues and topics related to women’s lives. The paper argues that despite the prevailing censorship and self-censorship, these films can offer insight into women’s emancipation with respect to their rights and the social context in which they live.
