Biography

Ananya Arora is a 22-year-old Delhi-based visual researcher and documentary filmmaker. With experience ranging from being a junior producer for a National Geographic show to being nominated in competition for the Film South Asia Film Festival hosted in Kathmandu, Nepal, Ananya’s roots lie in multimedia visual arts and experimentation. With their debut short documentary Khaane Ki Tasveer, which developed as a graduation project for their degree in filmmaking and management, the team managed to secure selections in over six national and international film festivals as well as limited distribution for an Australian streaming service. Working as a freelance photographer, videographer, and editor, Ananya also writes a weekly newsletter reviewing films and their musings about world cinema. They also attended the FTII Winter Film Appreciation course to strengthen their writing and broaden their learning about film theory in an academic sense. With an unabashed ardor for nonfiction filmmaking and an enthusiastic interest in film journalism, Ananya released their latest project, a documentary they co-directed, "Sheher Ke Under," which focuses on the conversations around independent culture in Delhi. Ananya is currently pursuing their master's in global films on a full scholarship from Newcastle University, UK.
