hello, this is the professional me in 3rd person:
Lidija Burčak, born in 1983, is a filmmaker and author with a passion for autobiographical and intuitive storytelling. Her literary debut, "Nöd us Zucker," featuring diary texts from her youth, toured German-speaking Switzerland from 2022 to 2024 and won the 2023 cantonal recognition award.
She has created short films such as "Sarma & Skype" (UK, 2017) and "Broken Skin" (UK, 2019), and directed TV documentaries including "Blinde Welt" (CH, 2024) and "Psychedelika in der Therapie" (CH, 2023).
With a background in script continuity (2012-2025) and dramaturgical consulting, she has contributed to projects like "Echte Schweizer" (Dir. Luka Popadić, CH/SRB, 2024) and "Comeback" (Dir. Eugénie Rebetez, CH, 2024). In 2024, she was part of Les Cliniques Dramaturgiques, a project that offers creators of the performing arts a space for support and exchange. It took place in September 2024, parallel to the Festival of La Bâtie in Geneva, with the support of the Swiss Arts Council - Pro Helvetia and Flux Laboratory.
Holding a Master's in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths, University of London (2016), Lidija has further honed her skills in Physical and Devised Theatre (David Glass, UK) and Action Theatre (Sten Rudstrom, CH). Her visual practice is playful and experimental, incorporating trial and error to create stories that surprise and touch audiences.
In 2025, she will embark on a journey to explore her Ruthenian roots with the Landis & Gyr Travel Scholarship, continuing her autoethnographic approach to storytelling. Additionally, she is engaged in a writers' room for an upcoming TV series.
Lidija is a member of the Swiss Authors Association (AdS) and of the Swiss Union Film and Video (ssfv).
