“Reimagining Migration and White “Western” Masculinities in Baltic Cinema,” a lecture by Liina-Ly Roos

This talk focuses on Jaak Kilmi’s film The Dissidents (Sangarid, 2017, Estonia) and Romas Zabarauskas’s film The Lawyer (Advokatas, 2020, Lithuania) that provide a different kind of engagement with migration, whiteness, gender, and sexuality in the Baltic countries as these countries were moving away from the “post-Soviet” and realigned themselves with (Western) Europeanness.
