Director

Andreea Cristina Borțun is a Romanian filmmaker and playwright, an alumna of BARD  College Berlin and UNATC Bucharest. Her work blends visual poetry and anthropology to explore origins, female points of view, and nature.

Andreea’s feature debut, BLUE BANKS, is currently finishing development with the support of the Romanian CNC and the PACA region French development fund, after having taken part in various international development programs and co-production markets.
Andreea is also the co-founder of Pustnik, an international non-profit screenwriting residency and a mentor for the French Institute’s program “Residence a la Poche” (2020-2021 mandate).
