Memories from the Eastern Front (2022)

A photo album bears silent witness to history. Handsomely bound and carefully labelled, it traces the path of the 6th Regiment of the Romanian army in the war years of 1941 and 1942. Romania had allied itself with Nazi Germany to fight the Soviet army. This film soberly dissects the perspective of these war photographs. Making use of quotations from historical sources, it puts these banal images of everyday military life in a larger context, supplementing that which has been deliberately left out.
