Uppercase Print

2020, Movie, 2h 8min

In 1981, chalk slogans written in uppercase letters started appearing in public spaces in the Romanian city of Botoşani. They demanded freedom, alluded to the democratic developments taking place in Romania’s socialist sister countries or simply called for improvements in the food supply. Mugur Călinescu was behind them, who was still at school at the time and whose case is documented in the files of the Romanian secret police. Theatre director Gianina Cărbunariu created a documentary play based on this material.

...Jude and Carbunariu have brought Mugur Calinescu back to life, and woven him into a complex tapestry that reveals a country’s history as a most fragile trompe l’oeil.

Frequently asked questions

What is Uppercase Print about? Toggle content

In 1981, Romania was ruled by the iron fist of communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. But on the streets of the city of Botosani, a different story was being told. Mugur Calinescu, a 16-year-old high school student, was writing messages of protest and freedom on the walls, using nothing but chalk and his own bold conviction. The secret police, known as the Securitate, were watching, and soon Mugur found himself arrested, interrogated, and ultimately crushed by the regime. This powerful drama documentary tells the true story of Mugur's courageous stand against oppression and the devastating consequences he faced.
