Daria Sofia Elisabeth (Lisa) Aschan (born 28 February 1978) is a Swedish film director and screenwriter.
Early life[]
Aschan grew up on a farm in Vejbystrand. At the age of twelve, she moved to Gothenburg and then studied at a boarding school in England.[1] After that she studied at Stockholms Filmskola between 1989 and 1999, and at the National Film School of Denmark from 2001 to 2005 to become a director.[2][3] During her studies, she became known for the commercials Fuck the Rapist!, a number of commercial films about a rape-protection consisting of an awl-clad tampon.[4] Her short films In Transit and Goodbye Bluebird, which were made during the same time, have been shown at different film festivals.[5][6]
Career[]
In 2009, she was a director's assistant at Dramaten and directed the Danish TV series for DR's child TV section; the series has also been broadcast in Sweden and several other countries. The three-part series is about a girl who pretends to be a leopard.[7] Aschan has stated that she likes to use animal parables in her productions to make it more clear about human behavioural patterns.[7]
In 2011, she released her first feature film, Apflickorna, which premiered at the Gothenburg Film Festival and won the Dragon Award Best Nordic Film and FIPRESCI awards.[8][9] Apflickorna has also won the award for Best Narrative Feature at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, Best Cinematography at the Transilvania International Film Festival, as well as a Special Mention at the Berlin Film Festival.[10] At the 2012 Guldbagge Awards, Aschan and Josefine Adolfsson won the award for Best Script for the film, and the film also won the Best Film and Best Sound categories.[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][12] Aschan declined the money as she did not feel that her project fell under the rules of the award.[8] Aschan has described Det vita folket as a space epos with inspiration from the horror film The Shining.[13][14] The film had its premiere in 2015.[15]
At the 2016 Guldbaggen Awards, Aschan was filmed in the audience giving the finger and saying "Fuck You" to Swedish cinematographer .[16] This was after Reiland had won the award for Best Cinematography, and was on his way up to the stage to receive the award.[17] , who had filmed Det vita folket, was also nominated in the same category, and Aschan called it a "spontaneous reaction" to Wassberg losing to Reiland.[18]
