Kamila Andini

Kamila Andini (born 6 May 1986) is an Indonesian film director known for her critically acclaimed debut, The Mirror Never Lies.

[1] Although uninterested in cinematography for fear that she would be "work[ing] in her father's shadow",[2] she began studying photography while still in junior high school, hoping to "capture people's life and behavior".

[1] Co-produced by Andini's father and former Miss Indonesia Nadine Chandrawinata and starring Atiqah Hasiholan, Reza Rahadian, and Gita Novalista, the film was based on a young Bajau girl who uses mirrors to try to find her lost father.

The story is set within Indonesia's tobacco industry and was directed alongside her partner Ifa Isfansyah.

[15] The two fell in love with each other after Isfansyah's 2011 film Sang Penari (The Dancer) had provided stiff competition to Andini's The Mirror Never Lies at the IFF.
