MIHAI GAVRIL DRAGOLEA

BIO

With a masters degree on Contemporary Video Art and a specialisation on documentary filmmaking, five years experience in  the audiovisual sector, in 2013 I took the decision to focus mainly on directing creative documentaries with an international co-production potential. My main objective is to explore the potential of using documentary form as a social impact and educational tool. Being a nomad myself, travelling around the world and exploring human stories is his motivation for creating cinematic narratives that speaks of social issues.

I try exploring the potential of using documentary as a social impact tool.

I am a Theatre and Televizion (UBB) film university graduate, I have a MA in photography and video at the Romanian National Arts University, I studied one year in Istanbul being enrolled in an Erasmus programme and I am also an Berlinale Short Film Station Talent Campus Alumni. These institutions helped me develop into a filmmaker and showed me I can do this great job.
