About the Director
Kamila Andini was born in Jakarta in 1986 and studied Sociology and Media Arts at Deakin University in Melbourne. Her concern for culture, women’s empowerment and environmental issues led her to her passion for storytelling through the medium of film. In 2011, she released her debut feature-length film ‘The Mirror Never Lies’, which portrays the life of a sea wanderer in the oceans of Indonesia. The film travelled to more than 30 film festivals including Berlin, Busan and Seattle International Film Festivals, and won more than 15 awards on the festival circuit. Her two short films ‘Following Diana’ (2015) and ‘Memoria’ (2016) portray women’s issues in urban Jakarta and post-conflict Timor Leste. Her second feature-length film, ‘The Seen and Unseen’, was selected for the Cinéfondation Residence programme at the Festival de Cannes, supported by the Hubert Bals Fund and the Asia-Pacific Sreen Awards Fund, and received a grant from the Doha Film Institute.
