Between Silence and Sin explores the life and work of dissident Romanian poet Ana Blandiana, an artist threatened, censored, and banned by the Communist dictatorship. Even now, she continues to fight to reveal the truth about the past and to build a free and democratic future. 

An intense biography about beliefs, censorship, and the power of writing, this film explores the contrast between the sensibility of the poet and the strength of the truth-seeker. The film interweaves never-before-seen archival materials and personal testimonials from Blandiana, punctuated with momentous poetry written by her over eight decades. The result is a showcase of the ease with which truth and propaganda blur, and the importance of art as the last bastion of a nation’s collective soul in the face of oppression.

A feature-length documentary produced 2021-2023, it is now in the midst of a film festival run throughout prior to its broadcast premiere on Televiziunea Română in March 2025.
