Film Director & Photographer

Nina Caspari is a London-based filmmaker working across fiction, experimental film, and video art. Originally from Germany, she discovered her passion for moving images during her Crossmedia Design studies in The Netherlands. With a Master’s degree in Audiovisual Arts and Costume Design, Nina has developed a visually rich and poetic style, blending surreal storytelling with a focus on women’s stories and experiences.

​

Her work combines distinctive styling with narratives that blend sweetness and eeriness, exploring what’s hidden beneath the surface.

Nina’s films have screened at prestigious festivals, including BAFTA-qualifying Aesthetica and Oscar-qualifying Interfilm.

​

Alongside her personal projects, she works freelance in filmmaking and creative direction, creating imaginative video and photography across portrait, music, fashion, and fine art.
