Adina Pintilie (born 12 January 1980, with the birth name Adina-Elena Pintilie) is a Romanian film director and screenwriter.[1] Who is little known for her raw material work.[2] Her decade-long creative multi-platform study on intimacy, current body politics, and the aesthetics of extended moving image creation encompasses  performance, cinema, and virtual reality, and is supported by long-term partnerships and cross-disciplinary research.[3] Her feature length debut film[4] Touch Me Not was awarded the Golden Bear at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival[5] as well as the GFWW Award for Best First Feature at the Berlinale 2018 and nominated at the European Film Award the same year.[6] She also co-founded MANEKINO FILM,[7] an independent production company based in Bucharest.

Also credited for being the co-producer, editor and actress in her film Touch Me Not, Adina Pintilie is also known for her shorter works: “Don’t Get me Wrong” and her short film Oxygen.

She has studied at the Ion Luca Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film.
