Anne Isaksson is a Swedish doctorate candidate, working in film, based in London.​

​

She is currently undertaking a doctorate in Fine Arts at University of East London exploring dislocation, connecting feminist and identity formation theory to her investigations. She expresses identity as ambivalent and continuous, as well as being part of a reflexive process. She uses autobiography applied as autotheory to engage in the debate of body politics through identification where the personal is political.

​

Anne made her full short film directorial debut in March 2023 on completion of Breathless, which she considers her first complete film work, for which she received much recognition. She has since then received 14 awards internationally.

​

For Breathless she won awards from Lulea International Film Festival (2023), Best Shorts Competition (2023) and London International Short Film Festival (2023), as well being a semi-finalist in Stockholm City Film Festival (2023) and shortlisted for Newham Film Festival (2023). Breathless was also selected ‘screener by demand’ by Kurz Film Festival Koln (2024) and selected for Momo International Film Festival (2024).

​

In January 2024, she launched A Meditation on Trauma which received awards from Best Shorts Competition (2024), Beyond the Curve International Film Festival (2024), Lulea International Film Festival (2024), Swedish International Film Festival (2024) and semi-finalist of  Rotterdam Independent Film Festival (2024), Munich Short Film Awards (2024) as well as being officially selected to Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival (2024), Vienna International Film Awards (2024) and Sunday Shorts Film Festival (2024).
