Natacha Horn began as a journalist. Then came digital animation, a passion for directing, and SWING — an abstract short film about everyday abuse that won Best Newcomer Director at the London Independent Film Festival on its first outing. In 2026 she made something more personal still: an anti-documentary portrait of Tanita Tikaram, her wife and collaborator, delivering in her own words a raw account of life as a brown, queer woman in the UK.
