PABLO SAURA
I’m a Spanish-born film director, screenwriter and occasional performer from London, UK.
The youngest of two, I was born in Cartagena, Spain to Spanish parents.
Since I was a child, I would spend my time writing and drawing comics, and daydreaming about same-sex crushes — two interests that no one else in my family shared. So, at seventeen, I embarked on a quest to find my kind and ended up in London.
When I first moved to the UK I had no idea what I was getting into. The the people, the culture and the language all seemed strange and foreign to me. Now, after more than a decade living here, London is indubitably my home.
Of course, you can't take the country out of the girl and I still very much love to write and perform in Spanish as much as I do in English. Unsurprisingly, some of my favourite things to write about are family, queers and immigrants.
My film This Is Britain won the Video Innovation Award (Prix D’Innovation) at the 2015 Eurovideo Film Awards in Liege.
After graduating from the London Film School I wrote and directed my narrative directorial debut, Love Lost, for which I won Best Director at the 2025 Big Fridge International Film Festival in London.
