Two years after enrolling in a Documentary Filmmaking Master's Degree at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Ion Gnatiuc has decided to return to Moldova, his homeland, and chase the stories it had to tell using a camera. In Moldova he is building HaiDOC Productions, a platform dedicated to film production, as well as ethically connecting international film companies with local talent and film infrastructure. He is reshaping the local filmmaking landscape through his involvement in ALTFilm, an NGO committed to training, production and distribution for an emerging generation of filmmakers in Moldova, becoming their voice in the film industry worldwide. Simultaneously he is freelancing as a DoP or Producer for international broadcasters such as The Guardian, Deutsche Welle, ARTE. Ion Gnatiuc is following his dream of putting Moldova on the filmmaking map of the world, and strongly believes in the power of documentaries to generate change where other instruments might have failed.
