​​Self taught British-Persian film director based between London and Paris.

​

With her hyper-sensitive approach to filmmaking, sayna’s work always returns to girl/womanhood, surrealism, and the fleeting.  Her practice weaves quiet fiction with documentary, drawing the viewer closer to her subjects, making each film a multi-sensory experience and an image within arm’s reach.

 

Her first ever narrative short ‘Glint’ premiered on NOWNESS. With select pop-up screenings selling out at REFERENCE.POINT. Her previous work grabbed the attention of renowned filmmakers such as Barry Jenkins & Nicholas Britel. Following a debut on Mubi, her first ever fashion commercial was featured on Vogue & SHOWStudio. 

 

 

Sayna is now in development for her triptych shorts focusing on female intimacy, 'An Intimate Pair' .
