Latest News about Eva Pervolovici:

 

Eva came to Screen Academy from 4 years Film Directing at the National University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest, Romania. Prior to that, she had had three novels published nationally while still at High School, and had been commissioned by the Romanian Cultural Institute to make a short film, 'Video Poems' based on the writings of well-known Romanian poets.

 

When she decided to do a Masters, the Screen Academy's MFA was the only course she applied to. "What attracted me to the course was that it was a concentrated, one-year course; it was project-based; it was European - close to home and, particularly, it recruited people specifically from a film background", Eva notes.
