Fitore Muzaqi was born in Kosovo and came to Germany in 1995, experiencing a cultural shock which inspired her to study Literature, Culture, Media & Social Sciences at the University of Siegen. During her studies, she was especially interested in topics like child rearing, educational differences and power structures. In her Master’s, she pursued her passion for film and began studying Communicative Arts – Narrative Environments at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig. After her studies, she worked as a creative producer for WDR, Cologne-based production companies and, most recently, for the young broadcaster Cosmo WDR in a serial online format. As a director, she focusses on music videos and documentaries, while her work as a writer deals with cultural differences, feminist issues and injustice. She loves drama.
