Lisa Aschan

Director Lisa Aschan graduated from The National Film School of Denmark 2005. While still in school, she received attention for Fuck the rapist, a collection of fictional advertisements for spiked tampons designed to protect against rape.

Aschan is known for her suggestive visual language, naturalistic direction, and unique talent for telling a story in actions instead of words. She sees filmmaking as a way to explore the world, not simply give it form. 

Her films In transit and Goodbye bluebird have been shown in film festivals around the world. She has created and directed a drama series for the Danish TV channel DR1, attended the Royal Institute of Art, and worked at the Royal Dramatic Theatre.

She Monkeys is her first feature film.
