Ionuţ Piţurescu – director, scriptwriter and producer; Dr. in Sociology and Visual Anthropology; coordinator of the Center for Innovation, Development and Film
The Cineimpact Method
Developed since 2005 by Ionuț Pițurescu, interlacing Applied Sociology & Anthropology with Immersive Filmmaking, Cineimpact Method was internationally recognized through movies such as “Quest” (Romania, 32 min), selected and awarded by “Quinzaine des Réalisateurs” at the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival. “Quest” is a docu-fiction, medium-length movie, completed by Pițurescu from picking up the topic to the end, in a surprising time frame for a story that won one of the most sought-after prizes of the film industry. At the heart of the 2010 Selection and Prize at Cannes IFF for Quest, lies an ingenious Sensory Storytelling Method grounded on efficient Filming, Editing, and Socio-Visual Anthropology techniques, appliable on most demanding audio-visual projects. In 2015 a second selection at Cannes International Film Festival’s Cinefondation Atelier had Pițurescu’s docu-fiction project “Borders” (Denmark, Romania, Burma) recognized as one of the best feature-length film projects worldwide confirming his insightful method.
Applying his 20+ years of practical and field-work experience in over 40 countries, along various academic studies, including a MA in Anthropology and Development, and a Ph.D. in Sociology and Visual Anthropology, Ionut Pițurescu created an experiential learning method developed around the most elusive parts of the filmmaking process: THE SENSORY STORYTELLING, THE EMPATHY FLOW and THE EMOTIONAL RHYTHM. Starting in 2008 as invited professor within a state university and continuing in 2014 by founding Cineimpact Film Academy, Ionuț Pițurescu has mentored students from diverse backgrounds, coming from Art and Social Filmmaking, Transmedia and Interactive Formats, Visual Anthropology and Video-Journalism. He enhanced the storydriven skills of filmmakers from more than 20 countries and five continents, while several Cineimpact students had rapid international results, selections and recognitions by prestigious film forums and festivals
