A central focus of Viola Stephan’s filmmaking and production work is Russia and Eastern Europe—beginning as early as the Soviet era, when documentary filming was rare and only possible under extremely difficult conditions. Later, her work turned to the dissolution of traditional ways of life and the distinctive features of post-communist societies.
Another recurring theme in her films is the art world—both in portraits of individual artists and in explorations of the increasingly globalized art scene.
