Discover the books from the Moldox Shelf at Cărturești la Muzeu

Between 26–30 November, the 10th edition of the International Documentary Film Festival for Social Change MOLDOX is taking place. This year’s theme is “Chaos. Reinventing Reality”.

Because this edition is a special, anniversary one, and we want everyone to truly connect with the causes we work for and the films we bring year after year, we have initiated a beautiful collaboration with the bookstore Cărturești la Muzeu. We invite you to explore books on cinema, documentary film, photography, minority rights, feminism, war, tyranny, and other topics important for the Moldox Festival and for society in general. The list also includes books for children, but especially for adults – because we want everyone to be aware of the world around them and its values.

The selection was curated by the Festival’s film programmers, Marin Basarab and Maxim Cârlan, as well as by the moderator of the Russian-language discussion panels, Galina Vasilieva.

We hope the selection of books from the MOLDOX Shelf will inspire you. You can find the list below. And for those who would like to purchase a book, you can order them online on the Cărturești website or browse them in person at Cărturești la Muzeu (31 August 1989 Street 121A, inside the National Museum of History of Moldova).
