Aristoteles Workshop was established by Romanian actor Dan Nutu and Cristina Hoffman (a former member of selection committees of the Berlin and Cannes festivals). Since 2006 many of the more than 140 participants of the workshop have made documentaries that were selected and awarded at important festivals such as Cannes, Locarno, Leipzig, Nyon, IDFA Amsterdam, Namur and Montpellier.
Aristoteles Workshop is supported by Administrația Fondului Cultural Național (AFCN), the Romanian Film Centre, the Romanian Filmmakers Union (UCIN) and DACIN SARA.
