UNQUIET VOICES - ANAIS ASSOCIATION
CHEIL ROMANIA, April 2019
TEAM: CD: Ioana Zamfir // AD: Roxana Nita // CW: Adina Stanescu
Every 30 seconds, a Romanian woman becomes a victim of domestic abuse, yet most remain silent. ANAIS, an NGO supporting survivors, wanted to break that silence.
On January 1st, 2019, dozens of silent movies entered the public domain. We reimagined them as Unquiet Voices, a 40-minute film where real survivors of domestic violence give their voices to abused female characters from seven silent films.
Each chapter was rearranged to fit the women’s real stories, covering psychological, economic, sexual, and even life-threatening abuse. By overlaying testimony onto previously voiceless scenes, the project transformed silent cinema into a powerful platform for empowerment.
