News from the workshop Since Stela's journey into the world, Cristofovici has completed a new novel and is currently working on a creative nonfiction book. Two sections of this collage of journeys into language, imagination and space have appeared in the on-line journals La Piccioletta Barca (UK) and alligatorzine (Belgium):

Conversation with Anca Cristofovici, a film by Antonio D'Alfonso (2022)
In 2020, just before the lockdawn, Antonio D'Alfonso asked me to contribute to his Conversation with Writers Series. A poet, filmmaker and publisher, Antonio is a Canadian trilingual writer and someone who combines writing with visual work, so his questions revolved around such topics as:  how I feel about writing in more than one language; how language identifies me; the writing process and my visual work; my relationship with the past;  my new novel The Golden Eyelash and MittelEuropa writers; living in different countries & cultures.   The film — poorly shot on my Ipad and with an accent exacerbated by the stress of having to hold the device at an appropriate distance or move around while I was speaking — explores these questions in the city of Nice, where I lived during the pandemic, a place where cultures and languages intertwine and layers of the past pop up at every turn.
