Birgit Ludwig (b. Luxembourg) is a filmmaker and photographer currently based in London.
Her filmic works take the form of unconventional dramas or experimental documentaries, interweaving realism and a poetic uncanny.
Her London-set short film The Partition premiered at Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin and was screened at the British Film Institute (London) and the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), among others. She is currently working on a feature-length film project.

She was awarded a grant from the Centre National de l'Audiovisuel (CNA) for her photographic project Antidotes in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The complete series was exhibited in a solo show at the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina Sarajevo in the summer 2025. Birgit’s work was selected as part of ‘Revelations’ at the European Month of Photography 2025 and featured in the show Reality Check at Konschthal Esch (Luxembourg) in May-June 2025. In 2023, her work was a finalist at the Sarajevo Photography Festival.

Birgit holds an MA from Kingston University (Experimental Film / distinction) and a BA from Central Saint Martins School of Art London (Fine Art / Phoebe Llewellin Smith Scholarship Award).
Her directorial practice has been influenced by her work as an actress with European filmmakers among which the late Jacques Rivette, Alain Raoust and Olivier Babinet. She has directed a stage production of Crave by Sarah Kane and collaborated on the performance series Production Lines by Antoine Davenne at Gasworks (London). She has also been involved in curatorial projects including a tank.tv moving image Dvd-anthology conceived with artist Laure Prouvost.
