Alina Grigore

Writer / Director

Romania

I have a bachelor degree at UNATC – Bucharest, Acting/ Directing department. I worked with Romanian directors such as Cristi Puiu for Aurora and Adrian Sitaru. Adrian introduced me to script writing and over the years I’ve developed a mentorship relation with him. I became passionate about cognitive mechanisms involved in film. I founded the Inlight Center – a place where, along with students, we practice multiple methods for exploring the scenic process. In 2014 I began work researching script development and directing with director Adrian Sitaru for the film ILLEGITIMATE. The film travelled receiving awards among which the C.I.C.A.E. award in Berlinale Film Festival, section Forum and brought me Best Script Award in Namur Film Festival and Angela Award for writing and acting at Subtitle Film Festival. I am a Berlinale Talents Alumni of 2018.
