Event Poster

Dear Carleton community,

The Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS), in association with the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in Canada, is proud to present a screening and discussion of the renowned docudrama film “Siberia din oase / Siberia on the Bones” (Leontina Vatamanu; 2019). The movie is dedicated to the Moldovans deported to Siberia during the Stalin regime. It is structured around the testimonies of four protagonists who were children when those harsh events took place. They were forcibly lifted and exiled to Siberia during the second wave of deportations, on the night of July 6 to 7, 1949. Each episode has a separate story. Together, they emphasize the horrors endured by thousands of Moldovans during the Stalin regime. The film commemorates 70 years since the 1949 deportations in Moldova (formerly known as Bessarabia). The film is based on true stories. You can watch the promotional trailer here and visit the movie’s Facebook page here. 

Leontina Vatamanu (director, screenwriter) and Virgiliu Mărgineanu (producer) will be present at the screening to discuss the film. The movie is in Romanian, with English subtitles. Screening time 90 mins, with discussion and small reception to follow (snacks and light refreshments will be provided).

Please note that, while the event is free and open to public, the seating is limited and registration is required. You can find the registration forms below.

Unfortunately we have reached the maximum capacity for this event. Thank you for your interest.

This event is co-hosted by EURUS and the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova in Canada with support provided by the Centre for European Studies at Carleton University.
