Биография

Laurentiu Garofeanu is a Romanian-British filmmaker with more than twenty years in documentary and factual television. He began in the broadcast hubs of London and New York, making factual content for Discovery, Animal Planet, Channel 4, National Geographic and Amazon Prime, and working as a self-shooting producer and director. He came to film through fine art and photography. He returned to Romania in 2015 and founded Mekanism Media in Bucharest in 2016, moving from commissioned factual work towards author-driven documentary. His projects since then have centred on identity, memory and social justice, and combine the intimacy of observational filming with the structure of an investigation.
