Roxana studied Film Directing at the National University of Theatre and Cinema (UNATC) in Bucharest and is a recent graduate of the National Film and Television School (NFTS). 

Her UNATC graduation film, A Night in Tokoriki, premiered at the 2016 Berlinale, where it won the Special Generation 14+ Jury Award, and went on to screen at over 100 festivals worldwide including San Sebastián, Karlovy Vary and AFI FEST.

Her next project, Appalachia, a French – Romanian – Belgian co-production, was selected for the Euro Connection at Clermont-Ferrand, supported by CNC and Wallonie Bruxelles Images, and later acquired by Canal+. 

Her most recent short, They Made You Into A Weapon And Told You To Find Peace, developed through the European Short Pitch, explores control and innocence in a stylised dystopia. Roxana’s work often blends poetic imagery with social undercurrents, focusing on intimate relationships, memory, and emotional silence.
