Anoushka

Anoushka Sunil is an Indian director, producer and screenwriter who began her filmmaking career in Dubai. She has written and directed two short films “Oyster” and “The Taste of It” that have acquired several nominations and awards from International Film Festivals in places like Cannes, Venice, LA and New York. She has emerged in the Dubai filmmaking scene, with films known to portray the complexity of the human condition, often exploring themes of identity, intimacy and emotional entrapment.

These films reflect Anoushka’s signature style - emotionally potent yet narratively subtle, with characters often stuck in trivial psychological states. She is drawn to people on the verge of collapse or awakening, and her stories frequently center on those who are trying, but failing to articulate their deepest needs.
