Călin Peter Netzer is a Romanian writer and director. From a Transylvanian German family, he was largely raised in Germany after his parents left communist Romania in the early ‘80s. After studying film in Bucharest in the 1990s, Netzer’s feature film debut Maria (2003) won a jury prize and both acting awards at Locarno. This was followed by Medal of Honour (2009). In 2013, his third feature, Child’s Pose (2013), won the Golden Bear for best film at the Berlin International Film Festival – the first Romanian film to win the top prize at the festival. His follow-up, Ana, mon amour (2017), was also nominated for the award.
