Of sisters and brothers 

Romania,  25'  (2024)

'Of sisters and brothers' is a medium -length documentary following the emotional geographies of 

a transnational Roma family. The film is constructed of interviews with sister-brother duo Luiza and Adi, a creative workshops and family scenes and explores how different experiences shape place attachments.

 

This film was part of the director's final project towards the completion of an MA in Visual Anthropology at University of Manchester. The film makes use of both the conventional settings of talking heads interviews as well as the more participatory techniques of organising and filming creative workshops with the participants in order to showcase a rather abstract topic: the emotional geographies of transnational Roma people. By zooming in on how place attachments are negotiated and renegotiated in relation to memory and personal experience the film highlights the participants vastly different approaches towards choosing where to live despite the two of them sharing the same family and background. The film was selected for screening at the Association of Social Anthropologists 2025 Annual Conference.
