Anastasia Kirillova

Born in Russia, raised in Sweden, and shaped by over a decade of work and study in the UK, I’m a director, editor and sound designer with a love for emotionally charged storytelling — the kind that listens as much as it looks.
Trained at the Royal College of Art in London, I spent over a decade developing stories and visuals language for world- leading brands and working alongside some of Europe’s most respected commercial directors. My own films — known for strong cinematography, immersive soundscapes and emotional depth — have been screened at major international festivals and awarded prizes including Best Documentary and Best Cinematography nominations.
Alongside my creative work, I mentor others. As Head of Talent for the Baltic to Black Sea Documentary Network, I’ve supported filmmakers from war-torn and censored regions in shaping local stories into films that speak to the world.
