ELSA
LÖWDIN

Elsa is a 29-year-old documentary filmmaker based in Berlin. She grew up in Sweden, always having the urge to tell stories. At first, Elsa used words to express herself, she wrote her first book when she was only 10 years old, and it spanned 120 pages. She comes from an artistic family; her father being a photographer and her mother being a cineaste. Her mother also had an interest in filming and showed Elsa lots of films while growing up. Very early in her teenage years she already knew that she wanted to become a film director, since the written word did not appear as compelling to her.  

The Swedish art scene was too conservative for her, that’s why she moved to Berlin. The city helped her to find her own voice in film making. It is her goal to portray positive stories from different cultures.
