Director Biography

Izer Aliu (b. 1982) is an Albanian, born in Macedonia and grew up in Sweden, and is a Norwegian citizen. His childhood and adolescence primarily took place in Norway and Sweden. Since he graduated from the Norwegian Film School at Lillehammer in 2012, he has made films in various places in the world, but the base has always been in Oslo. His exam-film “To Guard a Mountain” dubbed him one of ten Nordic directors to watch. He has been nominated for the Student Academy Award and won several high-end, both national and international awards. Following his graduation he set out to make his first feature “Hunting Flies” in Macedonia, and the short “The Good Life - Over There” set in the cityscape of Oslo.
