A Romanian-French-Slovenian coming-of-age drama that follows Lavinia, a single mother, and her teenage son Dani as their relationship is tested over the course of four seasons in a struggling village in southern Romania. Blending anthropological research with fiction, the film features a cast largely drawn from local communities and marks the feature debut of Andreea Cristina Borțun. A River’s Gaze was selected for the SMART 7 international festival network and received festival recognition including a Special Mention at the Festival of European Films Brežice and a nomination at the Slovene Film Festival. Producer Sebastian Stan supported the project as executive producer.
