Diana Saqeb

Biography

I am an Afghan female filmmaker and producer, based in Kabul. I studied cinema at Tehran Art University, Iran. Until now and since 10 years, I have mostly produced my own documentaries and short films. I aim to contribute to local young filmmakers’ work by creating international connections through my company. Currently, I am developing my debut feature Shirin Gol, The Woman of Kabul and looking to start a co-production with a European main producer.
