Yasmin Afifi is a London-based writer/director whose short film Jellyfish and Lobster won the Best British Short Award at this year’s BAFTAs. Her films have screened at platforms including Aesthetica, London Film Festival, Encounters, Leeds, Palm Springs and many other BAFTA/Oscar qualifying festivals. In her projects, she loves using the medium of comedy, magical realism and absurdism to explore taboo and dark subject matters. Afifi often inserts grounded characters into more conceptual worlds to explore stories with heart and relevance. She is currently in development on her debut feature.
