Based in London, Sayna Fardaraghi is an award-winning British-Persian Director creating short films, music videos and fashion films. Though her work is quite diverse, she focuses mainly on the themes of nostalgia, ephemera, and trinkets of everyday life that are often overlooked. She additionally works as an Art Director, with 4+ years experience in the creative industry.
Her most recent narrative short 'Waiting ' has won the Intel/Movidiam award for Best Director and best experimental student film at TIFF (Tatsuno), whilst grabbing the attention of renowned filmmakers such as Barry Jenkins and Nicholas Britell. Alongside having her debut on Mubi, she has been in talks with the BFI (British Film Institute) SCENE program, giving tips to young people looking to get into the world of film. Her most recent fashion film was also featured on Vogue.
Having made work as a Director & Art Director for the likes of Sony Music, Dazed Magazine, Burberry, NOWNESS and more, she is always searching for new ways to express her creativity and imagination in out-of-the-box manners - as well as connecting people through a shared sense of memory.
She also smells really good.
