Nisha Platzer

Nisha Platzer (she/her) is a queer artist and filmmaker from Vancouver, BC, on unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh territories. Drawn to vibrant shades, her films meld sounds and imagery that you can dream and drown in. She studied at the renowned Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV) in Cuba and her work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the BC Arts Council and the National Film Board of Canada. Nisha’s first feature documentary, back home, is supported by Telefilm Talent to Watch and was presented at the Docs-in-Progress Canadian Showcase at Cannes Film Festival 2022.
