Anna

After obtaining her Master’s degree in Media and Marketing Sciences from the University of Geneva, Anna worked for several years in the banking sector, mainly as a project leader. In 2013 she undertook a career shift willing to invest her skills and knowledge into documentary producing. She graduated successfully from Ecole Documentaire de Lussas in France and attended several European workshops for producers and filmmakers. Since 2015 documentary sales and distribution snapped her for the better and she now oversees all activities at Lightdox, with special care for Theatrical and Impact Distribution, as well as Acquisitions.

Raluca

In her work Raluca cooperates with partners in the French, German, Italian speaking territories and
the Benelux region. Raluca holds a PhD in Film studies from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and before joining Lightdox she split her time working for film festivals and as a researcher. While in the beginning she was drawn to fiction films, over the last decade documentary cinema has captured her attention. In 2022 this enthusiasm for non-fiction cinema prompted her move to film sales, where she could explore further her interest for creative, author-driven, documentaries. When she gets the chance Raluca likes to venture back into research.

Bojana

Bojana is responsible for all English speaking countries and domains worldwide. If the business takes you far north, her expertise expands as far as Scandinavia. Bojana holds an MA in Archaeology from University of Belgrade, Serbia, and her previous professional experience includes museum curatorship, field excavations and pottery conservation and restoration. Interpreting the human past has a lot to do with storytelling and Bojana was naturally driven to documentaries as another form of creative research. In 2016 passion for documentary cinema drove her to film sales. Being a part of Lightdox team, Bojana is highly dedicated to theatrical and educational distribution.
