I am a documentary filmmaker and editor currently based in Berlin, where I study at filmArche e.V. – Europe’s largest self-organized film school. Born and raised in Germany to migrant parents from former Yugoslavia, my perspective is deeply shaped by questions of identity, displacement, and solidarity. With an academic background in Slavic Studies, my work often weaves historical and political contexts into personal narratives.

I am particularly drawn to stories rooted in working-class realities, grassroots activism, social movements, refugee experiences, democratic participation, and LGBTQI voices. Through documentary film, I aim to explore the spaces where the personal and political intersect.

I’m part of the Berlin based Video collective Leftvision e.V.
