CONSTANTIN PARVULESCU is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, Director of the Janovics Center for Screen and Performing Arts and Head of the Master’s Program in Film and Audiovisual Studies at Babeș-Bolyai University. He has written several articles on the political cinema of Europe, film and economic history, and Eastern European film cultures. He is the author of Orphans of the East: Postwar Eastern European Cinema and the Revolutionary Subject (2015) and the editor of Global Finance on Screen: From Wall Street to Side Street (2017). CLAUDIU TURCUȘ is Associate Professor and Dean of the School of Theatre and Film within Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj. He published widely on topics such as the cultural memory of Socialism, the intellectual history and representations of post-1989 transition, and the aesthetics of the New Romanian Cinema. His book, Norman Manea: Aesthetics as East Ethics (2016) is the very first monograph about the life and oeuvre of this important Romanian-American writer.

‘This is a study that disrupts the patronising view of Eastern Europe as only “catching up” – instead, it foregrounds the advantages of the peripheral vantage with its own capacity to narrate Europe’s contradictions back to its core. Romanian Capitalism on Film is not only a major contribution to film studies and cultural history. It is, in the deepest sense, a warning and an invitation: to read the screen as testimony, to recover small truths, and to reckon with the unfinished story of Europe’s essentialised “margins”.’
