After a degree in Journalism, Iulia worked as a video journalist for two national broadcasters in Romania focusing on social issues like child abuse, poverty, health care reform and women empowerment. Searching for a more cinematic way to tell stories she continued her studies with a BA in Film and Television Directing and discovered her passion for documentary. During her time at the National Film and Television School, she found her own voice within intimate filmmaking. Her explorations deal with difficult emotional situations like recovering from war trauma, gender based violence and women’s emancipation in patriarchal societies.
