We appreciate the argument of the curators of FNT 2022 – Mihaela Michailov, Oana Cristea Grigorescu and Călin Ciobotari for the nuanced lens through which they have assumed a selection “attentive to the capacity of the performances to question, in multiple ways, the present, taking the risk of unsettling and abandoning the predictable reflexes of easy entertainment.”
