Letiția Popa

I am Letiția Popa, a Romanian filmmaker, visual artist, and researcher based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. My work explores themes of womanhood, otherness, memory, and identity, blending fiction and documentary to focus on subjective perspectives, ethical authorship, and the liminal space between self and other. I am deeply engaged with the intimacy of everyday life, relationships, power dynamics, and questions of belonging.

At the heart of my storytelling lies the idea of ‘home’ – as memory, body, fiction, and loss – grounding my films in a personal yet universal terrain. I contextualize my work within Romania’s 34-year transition from a communist to capitalist society, delving into everyday realities and socio-economic challenges faced during this transformative era. My practice combines observational cinema with performative and experimental approaches to explore these complex themes with depth and nuance.
