Valeriu Andriuta Attore, Regista
I am a Romanian and Moldovan actor working in film, television and theatre. I studied acting at the Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film University in Tbilisi and theatre directing at the University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest.
Over the years I have collaborated with directors such as Cristian Mungiu, Sergei Loznitsa, Pavel Lungin and Emanuel Parvu, appearing in films presented at major international festivals including Cannes and Venice.
My background in theatre includes performances at international festivals such as Avignon, Wiener Festwochen and Lincoln Center in New York. I enjoy working in different languages and cultural environments and remain open to new collaborations in international productions.
