Sasha Nathwani

Sasha Nathwani is a writer and director whose work connects deeply personal stories, often from his Iranian and Indian background, with an affecting emotional approach to visual storytelling.

His debut feature film Last Swim, produced by Caviar and Pablo & Zeus, premiered at the 2024 Berlinale, and was awarded the Crystal Bear. The film has played at numerous festivals across Europe and North America, and is due for theatrical release this spring (c/o Vertigo Releasing), following its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Sutherland award.

Last Swim is the first from Sasha’s slate of forthcoming projects, each one an exploration of the duality of identity, shining a light on underrepresented characters, a core theme in all of Sasha’s work.
