WriterDirector
Matevž Luzar (born 1981) is a Slovenian director and screenwriter. He broke into the film scene with his two student films, which were then concluded into an unofficial trilogy with his debut feature Happy to Die (2013). This was followed by a longer shift into genre waters: with the film Girls Don't Cry (2015) and the series Lake, Lenin's Park, and Valley of the Roses, which brought some genre freshness to Slovenian television screens. The film Orkester (2022), which was six years in the making, is his most recent feature.
