Anna Batori is a Visiting Professor in Film Studies at the Metropolitan University, Budapest.
""In this unparalleled and timely contribution to studies of East European cinema, Batori brings an interdisciplinary analysis to films that range from the Yugoslav Black Wave to contemporary examples of extreme cinema in which gendered representations of violence, torture and rape are symbolic of the region's own troubled relationship to its histories."" -Aniko Imre, University of Southern California
