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 developing a feature-length film project.

Her photographic project Antidotes, realised in Bosnia and Herzegovina and supported by a grant from the Centre National de l’Audiovisuel (CNA), was presented in a solo show at the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina Sarajevo in the summer 2025.
Her work was selected for Révélations at the European Month of Photography 2025 and featured in the group show Reality Check at Konschthal Esch (May–June 2025). In 2023, she was a finalist at the Sarajevo Photography Festival. From August 2026, her work is part of the contemporary selection of the touring show The Family of Man in Tokyo and various cities across Japan.

Birgit holds an MA in Experimental Film (with distinction) from Kingston University and a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, London, where she was awarded the Phoebe Llewellin Smith Scholarship.

Her directorial practice has been shaped by her experience as an actress with European filmmakers, including Jacques Rivette, Alain Raoust, and Olivier Babinet. She has directed a stage production of Crave by Sarah Kane and collaborated on Antoine Davenne’s performance series Production Lines at Gasworks, London. She has also been involved in curatorial projects including a tank.tv moving image Dvd-anthology conceived with artist Laure Prouvost.
