Xan Gilmour London, United Kingdom

I’m a writer-director of short films, documentaries and music videos, currently working as the director's assistant to Maria von Heland. In narrative, my aim is to create otherworldly visions across a range of genres. My awards include Best Short at the White Deer Film Festival for EVA REVISITED, a psychological thriller, and Best Film at Feel the Reel Film Festival for IMBAS, a mythic fantasy. Previously, I was the director's assistant to Kristin Scott Thomas and a documentary filmmaker in Barcelona, London, Lesvos and Kilifi, focusing on refugee integration and environmental restoration. I graduated from Oxford University with a First in History.
