Holocaustul în filmul documentar artistic străin şi românesc. Realizări reprezentative
The Holocaust in Foreign and Romanian Artistic Documentary Film. Representative Achievements

Summary/Abstract: In this study I tried to analyze some artistic documentaries that I considered representative of the way in which they, through linear or non-linear narration and image expressiveness, through the ability to evoke the tragic experience of the Holocaust, have pedagogical purposes and co-participation, along with other arts and cultural products, to the European reconstruction of the culture of memory. In this article, I discuss four nonfiction films released by Romanian filmmakers in the 21st century that represent valuable contributions to the rich and varied international filmography of the Holocaust. Struma (2001) by Radu Gabrea, The Dead Nation (2017) by Radu Jude, and The Exit of the Trains (2020) by Radu Jude and Adrian Cioflâncă, ranging from standard television documentary to innovative cinematic essay, bravely approach dark episodes, largely unknown or ignored, in Romania’s history.
