Avesta Keshtmand
Directing · London, England, UK
Avesta Keshtmand is a British-Afghan filmmaker, photographer, writer, and music video director based in London. Growing up on the pirate frequencies of grime and UKG, Keshtmand’s gritty, impactful style is tailored towards artists who have something to say. Having assisted London director Bafic on a number of multidisciplinary projects, her work has an experimental style built on clear ideas and distinctive presentation. Last year, Keshtmand was one of five unsigned British directors to win a place on Three Minutes – Crack Magazine’s incubator scheme funding five music videos by rising talents. For her Three Minutes video, Keshtmand found a new visual language. Avesta received mentorship from Sorcha Bacon through Girls in Film x BFI, to help get the short film "Bibi" funded.
