Sinișa Dragin

In 2002, his movie Everyday God Kisses Us On The Mouth (În fiecare zi Dumnezeu ne săruta pe gură) won the 'Aleksandar Sasa Petrovic' plaque at the ninth Belgrade International Festival of Auteur Films.

Dragin graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Film, Bucharest in 1991 and has worked since then as a cameraman for Reuters.

Due to his immediate contact with contemporary stories, Dragin headed at first towards documentaries, filming two shorts, The Sorrow of Black Gold (1994) and Burning is the Sun over Tichilești (1995).

He went back there in 2011 with If the Seed doesn't Die, winning the Dioraphte award, decided by the public among the movies financed by Hubert Bals Fund.

In recent years, he returned to documentary, directing along with Alina Mungiu Pippidi Where Europe Ends (2009), while a third action film, The Pharaoh (2004) was starring in the leading role one of the most impressive Romanian actors, Ștefan Iordache.
