Sahia Vintage 5: Ephemeral Film—An Argument for a More Inclusive Film History

Abstract

Sahia Vintage is a pioneering curatorial project focusing on the documentaries produced by Alexandru Sahia Film Studio during the four decades of communism in Romania. The fifth DVD of the series—SAHIA VINTAGE V: Ephemeral Film—more than the other DVDs, is a clear statement in favor of investigating the most marginal produc¬tions of the studio, offering a selection of ten utilitarian films from the 1960s to the 1980s.
