Daria Sofia Elisabeth (Lisa) Aschan (born 28 February 1978) is a Swedish film director and screenwriter.
[7] Aschan has stated that she likes to use animal parables in her productions to make it more clear about human behavioural patterns.
[11] In 2011, Aschan was awarded the Stockholm Film Festival's newly created long-film scholarship of 5 million Swedish kronor (about €550,000, £480,000, or $770,000 in 2011) for her new project, Det vita folket, a science fiction-inspired story about the camps where the government places foreigners that are awaiting deportation.
[8] Aschan has described Det vita folket as a space epos with inspiration from the horror film The Shining.
[15] At the 2016 Guldbaggen Awards, Aschan was filmed in the audience giving the finger and saying "Fuck You" to Swedish cinematographer Gösta Reiland.
