Natasha Austin-Green is an artist-filmmaker, director and writer based in London and the South-West of England. Their work explores extremity through taboo, giving voice to often marginalised narratives – challenging societal expectations and silence, whilst confronting how we understand women, the body, and power.
 
Austin-Green has made four experimental hybrid films. At The End Of The Tunnel, Dead. Tissue. Love, Amongst The Relics, and their latest, MŌDOR, which explores the regret of motherhood – an unspoken part of the maternal experience, shrouded in shame. The film challenges patriarchal myths that bind womanhood to self-sacrifice and contentment through child-rearing.
 
Their work has screened at festivals such as SXSW, Ann Arbor, and AFI Docs, earning multiple awards and critical acclaim. In 2023, Dead. Tissue. Love was highlighted in The Guardian by Censor director Prano Bailey-Bond as one of her all-time favourite shorts, with Bailey-Bond advocating that "More people should see them."
 
A 2020 finalist for The Arts Foundation Future Award in Experimental Short Film (supported by the David Collins Foundation), Natasha presented their work and methodology at the ICA as part of the London Short Film Festival's "The New Experimentalists" event. 

Natasha approaches their work as an experiment in both subject and form, resisting convention to maintain creative and ideological autonomy – seeing experimentation not as aesthetic play but as an act of political feminist resistance.
 
Natasha is currently working on a short film series to complement Dead. Tissue. Love, centred on death and fetish. They are also working on a Super 8 art video piece.
