Biography
Dave Lojek loves filmmaking. A lot. He belongs to the prolific and most often selected directors of the 21st century with over 2249 invitations to premiere screenings of his distributions at international film festivals worldwide. His favorite genres are comedy, parody, fantasy, romance, poetry, sci-fi and experiment. Dave also directs documentaries, dramas, portraits, and music videos. His works and distributions won 261 film awards. Some people seem to enjoy his movies. Dave Lojek graduated with an MA in English / American and Cultural Studies from Humboldt-University in his hometown Berlin.
In terms of content and style, Dave's poetic films encapsulate magic, love, death, friendship, loneliness, artists, oddities, escapism, mythology and the everyday. Based on the Homo-Ludens-principle, Dave clearly focuses his often-cheerful work on the universal and timeless. He calls his motivation intrinsic and gifts his art to cinema audiences.

As independent producer, he created and distributed 185 movies in 26 cities in 12 European countries by 2026. Mr. Lojek hosts monthly Open Screenings in Germany’s oldest cinema (Moviemento in Kreuzberg) and annual film workshops called KinoKabarets with his initiative KinoBerlino. Dave works as film distributor and president of a Film Association. The productions of APEIRON FILMS and KinoBerlino have been broadcast weekly since 2008 (ca. 11.982 times) on German TV and viewed online over 2 million times.
Dave is a proponent of human-made cinematic art and fights against generative AI—and thus against the erosion of the appreciation and perception of all art forms, the withering of the thought process, the regurgitation of the internet at large. Sadly, AI-generated websites have scraped this biography and fantasized stuff he never wrote.
