LUÀNA BAJRAMI grew up in Kosovo before moving to France and making her acting debut at the age of ten. With a dual Franco-Kosovar culture, she travels from one country to the other, following the rhythm of her projects and collaborations with different filmmakers.

She made a name for herself in 2019 with roles in Sébastien Marnier’s SCHOOL’S OUT and Céline Sciamma’s PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE.

Self-taught, she wrote and shot her first feature film at the age of eighteen. THE HILL WHERE LIONESSES ROAR is about youth and highlights the little-known landscape of her homeland. The film premiered at the Directors’ Fortnight in 2021. BOTA JONË (OUR WORLD), her second feature film, premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2023.
