David Lužar is a Slovenian filmmaker, writer, director and editor based in Berlin.
His work moves between documentary and fiction, with a focus on identity, marginalisation, family, belonging and the contradictions of everyday life.
He studied film directing at FAMU in Prague and later completed his studies in European Studies in Slovenia. Since moving to Berlin, he has worked across directing, cinematography and post-production, developing both documentary and fiction projects.
His documentary work includes THE GYPSY AND THE DEATH and LASTER, while his current fiction projects include YUM and IT’S KHODR’S FAULT.
As a filmmaker, he is drawn to character-driven stories, dark humour and socially grounded worlds, often exploring the space between discomfort, absurdity and emotional reality.
