Roxy Rezvany is a BIFA and London Critics Circle-nominated artist-journalist & filmmaker from Brent, London of Chinese-Malaysian and Iranian heritage. Her debut work Little Pyongyang was nominated for the prestigious Next:Wave award for emerging artist filmmakers at CPH:Dox, and Wifi Rider was part of FLAMIN’s Selected 11 tour. She has been commissioned to make moving image works for institutions such as the Barbican, BBC Film, BFI,  Film4, and Amnesty International. Her practice involves combining documentary journalism with visual art - with work to date focusing on vulnerable and politicised identities: citizens living under dictatorship, refugees, and the displaced. 

She seeks to challenge the separation of 'art' and 'journalism' as methods of communicating truth. Her scripted shorts, Honesty (2021) and Photo Booth (2022), both screened in competition at several Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying festivals across the UK, including Leeds, Cambridge and Edinburgh, where it was nominated for the McClaren Award. In 2023, she was commissioned by Vogue Magazine to make Women, Life, Freedom (2022), a short documentary-art film about the political movement in Iran, which garnered tens of millions of views and a Young Arrows award.
