Director

Her keen interest in video led her to discover the stage at the age of ten. Love at first sight. Self-taught, Luàna Bajrami gained experience through her collaborations with several directors, while practicing writing, editing and directing through numerous amateur short film projects. After graduating from high school, she gave up her studies and devoted herself completely to her passion. In 2019, she directed her first short film EN ÉTÉ MURISSENT LES BAIES and her first feature film: THE HILL WHERE LIONESSES ROAR. With a double Franco-Kosovan culture, she ranges from formats to long ones, also experimenting with documentary cinema. She primarily concerned with the condition of youth through a rather universal prism. Her next feature film is currently in development.
